The prices of their plates are surprisingly not ridiculous.

The shipping is the killer.

broseph said he spent all the money on plates because of MiUSA (ok cool), and the color (ok LOL).

But, to each his own.

For me, procuring equipment at half price via secondary market has been half the fun.  I enjoy the hunt more.

FB marketplace is the best.  There's a guy up here in mass always selling - his pics look like your home collection.

Absolutely - dumbbells back to $1 lb or cheaper, same with free weights.

Bowflex dumbbells are actually the litmus test - if the 552s are going for under $300, it's good times.

During the pandemic, it was double.

$1/lb???

Ridiculous.  I bought mine for 25 cents/lb.

Why, when I was a wee lad, bread was 5 loaves for $1.
