Used Fitness Dumbbells from eBay: Tips
EBay is usually the first place that you would think of if you’re looking to save some money on exercise equipment. Used fitness dumbbells and adjustable dumbbell sets can be found for a potentially low cost on eBay. There are a few things to watch out for when shopping around for dumbbells on this popular auction based website:
Fixed Weight Dumbbells
Fixed weight dumbbells such as vinyl, plastic or hex dumbbells do not have any moving parts, so you can bet that the dumbbells will be functional once you use them. However, be sure to look carefully at the auction description for details about the conditions of the dumbbell. The pre-owned dumbbells may be rusty, or have a cosmetic imperfection. If it’s not in the description, then contact the seller of the fitness dumbbell and ask about its condition.
Used Adjustable Dumbbells
Adjustable dumbbells have some moving parts, and you want to make sure that they’re in working order before you decide to bid. Contact the seller and ask if they have had any problems adjusting the weight on the dumbbells. Also, check their feedback to see that they’re a reputable seller.
Used Dumbbells: Other Tips
Be sure to take a look at the shipping costs. As a rule of thumb, the heavier the used dumbbells, the more it’s going to cost you in shipping. It may be the case that the final price of the used dumbbells plus the additional shipping will cost as much as a new dumbbell set (without the warranty as well). Unlike places like MegaFitness that has free shipping on most of their strength training equipment, the people who sell on eBay generally charge shipping and do not provide warranty on the fitness equipment they sell.
