if you're not going to work out at a gym, then you have to have a proper home-gym setup (could probably be bought for a minimum of 1,500 or so).
if yoiu arn't going to the gym, and arn't gona build your own home gym, then no, u arn't going to ge tbig
my entire "gym" downstairs cost me about $65 TOPS.
best place to look...yardsales.
i got a bench(incline and leg thing, for front leg extenstion), straight bar, and 200+lbs of weights for $20(originally marked 30...but i bargained the lady down)
then i got some adjustable dbs for about $10-$15
found another 155lbs worth of weights and another straight bar at another sale for $20
and a curl bar for $15
thats all you need...actually even a little more than you need.
yard sales are the way to go

Why not?
If you really can't buy DB's for some reason, since they would be the best way to go, you could do a hell of alot of calisthenics. Pushups, pullups (like from a tree branch in your backyard), all sorts of situps. To get nice legs you could push your car around in a parking lot. For shoulders you could do handstand pushups. And to be a proper BBer you can do alot of cardio and watch your diet
The possibilities are endless.

i sure as all heck wouldn't buy it used
i look at it as weights are weights, a bench is a bench whether they are brand new or have been around for a while.
if you go to a gym and use that equipment it has been used a lot more than something you buy from a yard sale

ya why not?

you have no idea the condition of it, how it was treated, etc......
it's like buying a used Z06 from a guy who says 'I never raced it. Nope, nope, never. Never even took it beyond 3K rpm'. Yea, riiiiiiiiight
if you want to go out and risk buying absolute crap, go for it, but when, for example, the bench breaks and crushes you, don't come crying on here (and it can happen.....happened to me (backboard snappeD) and it was brand new))Booo

i found alot of things i can do at home.. for example take a backpack and fill it up with alot of heavy books. I got 2 10 pound dbs and a few books taht weigh about 7 pounds each. I fill the bag with all these things then then i can do alot of things, bicep curls, tricep extensions, squats, pushups with that bag on my back, chin ups ... and the list goes on. Use your imagination.. but i would still recomment you go to a gym.
