It isn't. At $350 you're not paying much more than the $300 Oly set at Dick's and you're getting coated plates and a far better bar. FYI there are commercial plates/dumbbells that cost $10/lb and bars that cost upwards of $1k.

This was previously a front page deal at $500 - https://slickdeals.net/f/14984531-inspire-fitness-rubber-300-lb-olympic-weight-set-499-99

There is some excellent discussion about the weights there - additionally, this would have been a nice deal pre-covid for new coated weights delivered to your door.

Costco has 5% gas also with Costco Citi card.
No its 4% - at least it is now...

I decided to hold out for a sale on metal plates now that gyms are opening. Dicks set is $270 with an email coupon, so I may wait for a sale and stack em...

Keep in mind that the low quality Dicks iron plates are probably not very accurate in their weights and will also damage your barbell sleeves (if you have a good barbell). But if you only care about getting iron then sure the dicks set is cheaper...

Got these last time this deal was posted. I use the weights almost everyday and they are definitely worth the money. Also, the shipment packaging was ridiculous; it was the best packed item that I've ever received. Received the cash card promptly as well (about 3 weeks after purchase).

Btw, use the $50 off $500 coupon to sweeten the deal. You may have to add a filler to hit $500.
How was the delivery handled? The description says that it will be delivered to a room, but no unboxing. Did you find that to be accurate? If they could help lug it to the basement that would be awesome, but maybe that's asking too much.

You do need a filler to use the coupon. I spent half an hour on my phone trying to find something. Their website is so slow... And why can't it remember to sort by Price - Low to High instead of defaulting to High to Low? Ugh. Anyways, the cheapest things I could find were a pack of erasers ~$6 or salt ($2, but has a $3 delivery fee unless you have $75 worth of 2 day shipping items in cart).

I personally don't have a use for the erasers that go on to the top of pencils and I didn't want to feel ripped off when I can pickup a giant container of salt myself without the delivery fee. I ended up just getting those Adidas pants that are on clearance for ~$8. If they don't fit I can return, though I think they may take a proportional value of the $50 off coupon? Luckily there's no instant savings discount applied to either of my items so if I have to make a return, their system doesn't screw me over like it did two years ago where they counted the instant savings against the coupon as well.

It was actually a Macy's truck that pulled up and delivered mine. They will deliver to the room of your choice. Unless you pay extra, they will not unbox for you.

Search for Costco 50 here on slickdeals. If you didn't get one sent to you via email, I believe a lot of people had luck getting them from Costco CS chat.

I posted the last deal and got one. This is pretty good set. Been using a month and very happy with it. 150$ card arrived within 2 weeks without any followup.

They emailed me it. I got one two or three years ago as well. Apparently some people have been able to get Costco online chat customer service to give them a code after multiple tries. Too bad it isn't the $100 off $500 that some others have gotten.

Any help would be appreicated:
Is the Costco CC generally a good card?
I have been looking for weights and this came at a perfect time, although I'd prefer a card with a good sign-on bonus. The cashback categories on this card looks pretty good though. Also, can I apply for the card now and purchase this now for $350? Or would I need to wait to get approved and receive the card to buy this set? TIA.

Pretty small premium for the rubber coating (over iron). I was thinking these were full bumper plates, which would be truly slick.
whats the difference between bumper plates and this? new to weights.

Rubber plates are not meant to be dropped.

Bumper plates are built to withstand drops. Bumpers are more expensive.

Right, and bumpers are usually all the same radius, so if you're doing any work below 135#, the bar sits on the ground at normal height.

Good thing I do all my work, including curls, at 225+!
