The Deals are Out There

[Dogfish]

I just picked up over 700lbs of Olympic weights and an adjustable bench w/rack, for $300. I found it through craigshelper.com. It was about an hour and a half away and I would never have found it without Craig's Helper.

The buy included:
a complete (bar & weights) 300lb Weider set. Older, all steel. Some character rust.
another 300lb set, complete, generic. Older, all steel. Great shape.
2 York 45lb plates (I'm thinking about collecting York)
an assortment of small (5lb and under) plates
an assortment of clamps (including pairs of old York clamps)

I can now use my 12-sided plates with my power rack, I can set up a DL station with round plates and I can, when the weather warms up, take a set in the back yard to learn cleans.

This should fill all my my plate needs for quite awhile.

Subtract off say $50 for the bar and clamps, and that's about $0.35/lb - pretty decent! Nice find! I do the same thing: 12 sided in the cage, bumpers and/or round plates on the lifting platform.
