Where is a good website to purchase weight plates of the standard olympic variety?
I had some flyers at school with 45# plates for $45.. any ideas?

Anywhere to buy weight plates for under $1 a pound?

Play it again sports. It's not like plates have mileage or warranties to worry about and who cares if they don't match brands.

Check out Witchita Falls Weightlifting: store.wfwclub.com/index.htmlThey often offer free shipping and handling on their weight sets. Shipping and handling is what usually costs the most when buying weights via mail. |

I think anytime you order weights off the itnernet,, shipping will kill you. If they dont charge much or anything for shipping, they are jacking the price of the weights up. I bought a couple sets 2-3 years ago from Dunhams sports. I checked around on the internet and because of the shipping, I couldnt come close to Dunhams price, as I could just pick them up locally. I would check locally, even if you had to drive an hour, it would save money.

Seriously, playitagainsports if there is one in your area. Typical costs are .40-.50 per pound and shipping is free since you're loading it into the back of the truck. They'll usually help.

Craigslist. Hopefully you can buy a few local guys home gyms for cheap.

If you have a university or college in the area check to see if they have a surplus sale. I live near UVa. they have 4-5 sales per year. You can get some great deals. We bought some benchs for $5. Check the local newspaper. A lot of people buy Oly sets and then sell them cheap.
