Trying out a new weekly thread idea.
This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.
@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
I think it's just demand driven. Home gyms are cheap compared to ongoing gym fees so buyers are willing to pay more. The plates also keep their value as long as they're functional, which is years and years unless treated badly or left exposed to the elements. Even with cosmetic damage they are perfectly functional. They're just heavy things to be lifted. Once purchased there is rarely a need to buy more.
I sold a similar home gym about 5 years ago when moving long distance. I had bought it for $US450 and sold it for about $380 after 3 years of use. The buyer rang the same day it was listed and picked it up an hour after his call paying in cash. It wasn't an opportunistic reseller, but a young guy with his girlfriend looking for a home gym.
