I want a set of Powerblock adjustable dumbbells and brand new they're about $470. People want $350-$400 and they're not even close to "like new." Missing tags, broken brackets, rusty, and obvious signs of use. I'd pay $250 for a used set, but everyone I've messaged says they're firm in their price. The kicker is that there are about 20 sets for sale within 50 miles of me.

FYI, if you're in the US, Woot.com has similar sets pretty regularly. Here are some they have now.

Oh wow, I've never heard of this website. Just ordered the base set up to 50lbs. Thanks for the tip and now I don't have to drive 30 miles to pickup a sweat stained set in a parking lot.

It was better before they were part of Amazon, but they do have good deals sometimes.
