Hi all,
After a bit of advice here. Since joining a proper gym I'm pretty much settled on selling my own small setup of weights which consists basically of a basic squat cage, flat bench, standard bar and spinlock dumbbells as well as a bunch of steel plates.
So first off, does one generally get a better price when selling as a set or might it be better to partition it off?
Secondly, my brother (idiot) decided to "borrow" it one day and dumped the loaded bar onto the safety bars. I can still use it as the height of the safeties are fine for me, however because they are bent I can't move them out of the cage. To remove them I'd have to spend some time with a hacksaw. Now I doubt anyone would buy it while it is like this so I'm looking into replacing the safeties. However, I haven't found anywhere that sells replacement bars so I'm considering getting some steel bars. Obviously if I went with these they wouldn't have the rack bits on them but would still work as a safety. Can anyone guide me regarding what variety of steel (strength etc) I should be looking for?
