Try lifting the bar first champ!

Add weights later.

Facebook market place, Craigslist are the cheapest.

Ebay, set the distance parameters on the side.

"Play It Again" used sporting goods stores.

Call / Email around to  gym / fitness suppliers in your state. Many maintain a stock of used machines and plates from gym buy outs.

--------------

Figure $.50 - 1 /lb for decent stuff locally. Look for Ivanko, York, Iron Grip, Cemco, Troy, Intek as first choices*.

*You might see Rogue, Eleiko, etc.... too but they'll be expensive and/or rare on the used market.
