if you are getting it for 150, thats about 50 cents a lb. which is about standard. you can find them for as low as 115 if you look around. not the best bar probably but weight is weight. look for gyms going out of business if you can and walk in and make a deal. i got 500# for .25 a lb. very nice.

as a side note. today i went to big5 sports (west coast) and bought some odds and ends. my 25lbers were marked 17.99, i paid 7.50 (mistake #1) and my 5lbers were marked 2.99 and i paid 1.50(hehehe. mistake #2 for them) alot of times, they mix up standard with olympic and you win!

Don't forget eBay. If you can find deals on barbells and/or plates that allow pick up (because paying shipping on shit that heavy will suck harder than bullit at a glory-hole). There are a number of business which allow pickup from warehouses in NJ, and since you're in Shaolin, you can manage that.

Here's one:

The BIN price there is $1,129.99, which is an error (don't smoke crack while using the net, people). It should be $129.99 for an olympic bar and 255lbs (300 lbs total), if you Buy It Now.

That's just the first auction I found, there should be some others.

Here's another auction where you can buy 500 lbs for 160 bucks, and also pick up in NJ.

Check Sports Authority or Dicks.

They have a 295 lbs Olympic set for 95-105 bucks when it is on sale. Usually something is on sale each week, and the sales rotate around.
