$100 doesnt even pay for that much scrap iron
youd be lucky to get this for twice as much not even mentioning the bench
No, you scammed the boomer, so well done.
you did good user. You can't use those oly plates right now though.
>You can't use those oly plates right now though.
why not?
They won't rotate properly on a standard bar. If you have an oly bar you're fine, but there's a reason oly sleeves rotate.
send them to my house ill let you know
You paid 100$ for 150$ worth of plates.
The 45lbs and the 35bls are worth generally 1$/1lb. Yours are pretty fucked up, but if you clean them it'll be fine.
The rest of the weights are pretty much useless as they don't fit on any standard equipment. Also the bench is an unstable and rusted deathtrap.
Basically you got an okay deal for 4 plates, and the rest are dumpster tier.
Hyperbole is not your friend, user.
Cast iron is $85/ton
Wut? He can do everything but Oly lifts.
well theres no way of knowing how much iron is in the pic
How would that affect bench pressing?
I don’t know what other user was talking about, but what I noticed is a standard (1”) bar and the heavier plates are for a 2”/50mm-sleeved bar. Rotation is the least of his issues.
lol, rekt
Aren't those short screw-on collars specifically for 2" ID plates?
This. That could be 3,000# for all we know.
>about 250 pounds of plates
>0.6/lb
>$150 of iron
>"$100 doesnt even pay for that much scrap iron"
where was i wrong?
Your prices are bullshit. You said "scrap" faggot, even assuming a 50% markup for purchasing as compared to selling, you are only looking at $170 per ton.
Yes.
Are you sure these prices do not include the actual casting work? Because those prices are retardedly high for that material raw. That is aluminum and 400 grade steel prices.
Nigga what
whos your iron guy? youre getting ripped off
i personally wouldve low balled him then settled at $80 cad but you live and learn, with the T virus closing everything youre gonna be much better off with just having this anyway desu, maybe get a few DB's for isolation lifts for bis/tris/delts etc
yes
This bench can't support these plate, suicide machine
The plates are fine but the bench is sketchy
u must be world class fucking stupid if ure serious about buying it for 100 and thinking u got scammed
Nah, you did fairly well. If you want to clean them up use vinegar and a wire brush.
you done well mate, $100 for that when it would usually coast around 200-300
plates around here are going for 2/lb...so it would have costed like 600/700. people think they found gold in their garages
dude was living the dream.
Imagine how glorious lifting in the rain must feel.
Pretty good deal user
That's actually a pretty good deal desu
