[QUOTE=Anthony21;1600750211]Yeah I know this isn't the best time for that. I've been wanting to piece together my garage gym again and this Covid-10 crap was the push I needed.[/QUOTE]
That said, once the gym opens again, a lot of people will have a lot of equipment they're not using. So maybe the prices will drop after that.
Although i imagine most people right now are buying dumbbells, barbells and benches. The prices are insanely inflated and everything is sold out.
Yes, while you have to train at home

Rogue is almost completely sold out of everything, which is crazy.
Can anyone brand these plates... cant find pictures online anywhere
[QUOTE=backinthegymbro;1600528481]How much should i sell these for? Someone is offering 29 dollars for them right now. But i think i can ask for due to the corona virus hype and every gym being closed.
20 lbs per db.
4 plates of 2.2 lbs.
4 plates of 1.1 lbs.
the handles and the spinlocks.

Can try Mercari. Been watching those kind of DB's sell for dumb amount of money plus insane amount of shipping. Boy what it feels to be sitting on a gold mine, but you don't want to sell. Someone bought my LF bench for $430 no haggle. Spent the last 6 months dealing w/ lowballers too.

Nothing special about them, lower level quality from what I understand so they'd be in the 'weight is weight' $0.50/lb

I got to sell them for $93. I feel you on the gold mine, unfortunately i need to maintain my gains so i can't sell it all. Good job on the bench sale!

Yeah I meant we're all sitting on gold mine, but can't sell. Sitting on literally about a ton of Ivankos. Don't think I'll ever let them go.

Are those rare? If you have weights but aren't worried about losing muscle mass, then you could always sell it.
And then just re-buy what you sold after the gyms open again.
But if you own rare hard to find weights, then that's a different story all together.

The profit potential is tempting, but I've spent nearly 2 years collecting equipment so I'm reluctant to sell most of it. I did start going through my non-urethane plates though and decided to put some of those up for sale. Just about all of my standard plates, including some semi-collectable ones, are up for sale also. I'm on the fence with my Pro EXP Powerblocks. I can easily sell them for a ton of money, but they're extremely rare on the used market so I likely wouldn't be able to get this particular set again. They may go up for sale though as I still have my barbells to keep me going through Armageddon.

I'm on the same boat,
Been building up my gym for the past ten years, and a lot of it has become sentimental in addition to being practical to my needs. The stories behind the road-trip travels and deals have added to the experience of building it incrementally. Certain items like my squat rack (which was the one from my high school gym when I was on the football team) and my Ivanko revolvers are going nowhere.

Yeah I'm at the point where I got rid of the unnecessary extras. Now I can work out without having a workout just moving equipment around. Feel you on the stories on acquiring. 2013-2016 was some great years on this boards.
Partially joking, but I was tempted to sell the Powerblock 50's and stand I just bought, because I could easily make $100-$200 for doing nothing. Db's aren't essential but it's nice having them around. People have been posting 'Want Ads' saying they will pay at or above retail for a nice set.
NY. Parrillo arched bench. If it was a standalone, I would have bought it already, but still a cool piece if you have the space. It'll go fast at $235.

I love these guys rating their homemade power racks as if they're engineers. There's another guy that rated his to "at least 1,000 lbs."
What in the **** is that guy wearing btw?!

The people paying stupid amount wouldn't know quality plates so they would expect to pay the same for Ivanko as they would Sports Authority, CAP and Weider crap. The premium for quality plates isn't worth selling since most people just wanted something regardless of quality

So you are saying I can sell them for $3.50 per lb?
$3.50 x 220lb = $770
Unsure what the market is and how valuable these Troy rubber HEX dumbbells are.
