adjustable dumbbells

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

so after I read the whole thread, do you store some of this stuff in your house Vince, isn't that like tons of stuff, or do you have a warehouse you put it in and pick it up from there and ship it fedex?

I don't keep anything at my home.  Its a warehouse facility that works similar to a UPS store.  All of my products are stored there and I pay a flat fee for storage, fulfillment, handling per item, and shipping expenses.  Pretty much a fulfillment center.

The only "fulfillment" center I ever went to had this big Asian Massage sign on the front???!!

Good luck with your business there Goodrum.
At least you live and work in the gym industry rather then just talk about it.
I know I bust your balls at times, but I honestly think you have a real passion and love for bodybuilding.

vince already said they messed up their business with distributors, Vince is the man to get any equipment from on here.

No, Vince is just a middle man. Cheaper prices can be found easy.

I check prices once every 2 weeks and either raise or lower them to compete with others so you'll should not be surprised if you use Google shopping for example and find that I'm the lowest priced for a number of items.  Some people will contact me to see whether I'll match or mark it lower and I usually do that as well.

Buying direct doesn't garrantee that you have the lowest price.  For example, the Air Climber by Brenda Dygraf is 129.99 plus 18.95 shipping when bought directly because of the infomericals however I sell the same machine without the retail packaging for 99 bucks with free shipping

All I did was contact the manufacturer in China and bought a pallet of the Air Climbers machines and I got them for practicaly highway robbery because I kept their generic packaging.  A lot of products you see on TV infomercials are nothing more than a dressed up product with retail packaging and advertising and a huge markup.  If you know who to call (and I do after running this business for years) then you can get the unlabeled leftover stock they have for real cheap.  Then I can sell tons of the product because the advertising has already been done.  


That's just one of the many things I learned over the years in this business.

what brand are they?

they don't have a brand, just generic spinlock extra long dumbbells - i think they are 18" long.

with the pro style slim weights you can get 6x5kg plates on each side - the dumbbells themselves weigh 3lbs.

are you in the uk ?

Sorry in advance for the lifting related topic. I'm looking to buy a set of those adjustable dumbbells to work out at home. I've seen the bowflex ones, and they only go up to to 90 lbs which isn't ideal but I guess it would do. Does anyone have any experience with these or the alternatives?

thanks

My nephew has the Bowflex dbells in is home gym... NOT a fan...God forbid you rest those things on your thighs before bench presses,and they get stuck... I have Powerblocks... Wife purchased them for me about 9yrs.ago for my birthday... Love them! Never had one problem.A bit pricey,but not by much,in comparison to the other dbell sets out there...But definitely one of the best.. Hope this helps Stu..
