Dumbell set come check it out (pics)
Dumbell set come check it out (pics)
I know someone who is trying to sell this set to me but i'm not sure how much to offer. How much would you say this set is worth? Its 7 sets of dumbells from 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40.
Thanks in advance! ;)
The real value of anything is what it's worth to the buyer. Not being facetious, just saying.... You could price the same dumbbells new or used in stores as a bargaining method.
New they'll cost you .59cents/LB. Do the math and maybe offer half that.
I wouldnt even buy em to be honest. DBs are a funny thing, once you move up in weight, you really run out of use for certain ones. I had adjustable DBs that moved up to 50 lbs. They were cool, but once you get stronger, then its hard to find uses for them.

Thanks in advance! ;) Give him half of what they are worth new...not including taxes lol
That's 350lbs x .59 cents a lb according to Skidmarx and that sounds right to me.
350 x .59= 206 bucks divided by 2 = 103 bucks...sounds like a good deal if you ask me...
But you will probobly outgrow them...depends on your strength really...I would buy a dumbbell set if I had the cash from 5 to 90 lbs and use standard db handles for anything heavier...but 5 to 90 would be perfect for me...
Good luck, JM

Thanks in advance! ;) 100 bucks would be a good deal. I would buy them and keep adding on as you find good deals on heavier ones. I have 4lbs up to 105 and always looking for more and I use them all. I use the 4lbs to shadow box.The 10`s are great for warming up my shoulders before heavy benching. I also use them for arm burn outs. Start at 10lbs 8reps,8sec rest and keep going up in weight until you fail. There are tons of uses for lighter weights.
Waste of money to be honest. Even 40lbs is just a warm up.
Only go for it if you can get it really cheap.
if you are just starting out in weightlifting, i say go for it. offer about $100.

Only go for it if you can get it really cheap. Agreed! Anything below 40 is for beginners. Unless you are a beginner go for a set that is 60 and up. I believe hex DB's go up to 120.
i personally prefer Dumbells where you can add/subtract weight because, like stated above, 40lbs. isnt very much, especially for compound excersises like bench press. Your 19, so i would look to save up and buy a better set, maybe just a pair of dumbells with removable plates like 4x5, 4x10, 4x25, ect... something like that. Because most likely if your into lifting, you'll spend 100 bucks on them, but in a couple months (if not already) your going to hopefully outgrow 40 lbs. And after you grow out of them, your stuck with them. Nothing against the guy whos selling them, but i wouldnt recommend it.
--Definitely $100. In general used DBs sell quicklyl at 33 cents/lb or less. Personally, I think its a good deal, and I would take it. If you are a beginner, they will be very useful to you. Over time, you will outgrow them for *some exercises*, but not all (ex- lateral raises, rear-delt raises, internal rotations, external rotations, tricep kickbacks, hammer curls, wrist curls). Also, you can slowly add to the set by watching on craigslist/ebay for people selling cheap hex DBs. And, worst case, if you only pay $100 for them, you should be able to sell them for the same price if you don't need them any more. As long as you don't let them rust, or bend them to hell, they will easily retain their value.
Now, on the flip side... if you are on a limited budget, and you lack other major pieces, like a barbell set, you may want to reconsider. What equipment do you have already?
I don't agree with the below-40's being useless or for beginners. They're great for final burnout sets or for warmups.

Is it worth it? I'm no beginner...I can barbell bench 210lbs and am worried that it would be a waste to get them...
Thanks, JM
I don't agree with the below-40's being useless or for beginners. They're great for final burnout sets or for warmups. I agree with you 100%. If you been working out for a long while , you learn the importance of all weight size.
If you only do a few dumb bell exercises or the weights overlap it may be cheaper to just buy dumb bell handles and weights e.g. 2 exercises of 3 sets you need at most 12 handles. You will never outgrow them and it saves you the time of rebuilding them every time. If you have become stronger just add weight to the lowest one so it becomes the new heaviest one.

Thanks in advance! ;) $100 WITH the stand thrown in. $70 without it, but you should actually GO THERE with the cash in your hand (and an extra $20 hidden in your pocket, just in case :D), and be ready to start WALKING out the door if he starts "hemmin' and hawin" :D
at first offer $50 and act like you dont want them...:D
I bought my weights brand new for 55 cents a lb. I would probly offer about $75 for the set with stand
