Adjustable Dumbbells

Any suggestions for an affordable pair? I'm tired of buying the individuals and they are getting pricey. I'd love a set that do .5 lb increments, but I know those cost more. I can't afford $300 - I've seen some from around $70 - 150 which I could probably manage. I'm don't really need more than 25 lbs at this point either (I know the heavier ones cost more too). Help!

    If price matters then it's best check out some 2nd hand shops or garage sales in your area or something, I've seen people selling them there for like 10$. Or maybe Amazon or eBay, some used ones you can find pretty cheap there for around 30$. I personally wouldn't even bother to spend 70$ on weights if you can find just as good used ones. Your body don't care if it's new or old...

    us too, and you're in florida, so you should have a great market. it works best when you live near a city.
    sometimes we get lucky at goodwill too.

    I think CL is a great place, as long as you actually know WHAT you want (and what stuff is worth).
    Loading up on oly plats for $.50/lb or less is great. People selling those plastic cement things well...not so much.
