Can someone explain why dumbbells are a deal when it's under $1 per pound?

Are people reselling these as scrap iron or something?

Also, since dumbbells are "durable goods" that should last a lifetime (i.e., unlike food, clothing, etc), are veteran weightlifters buying these deals (they presumably already have weights so that doesn't make sense) or is it always new exercisers who are buying/upvoting these deals (but how would newbies know to buy dumbbells when they're under $1 per pound)?

Because dumbbells and weights in general are sold for >$1/lb?

Personally, I have cast iron dumbbells which, while functional, are a little rough from use -- rusted and dinged. They also have skinny, straight handles. I have a couple pairs of dumbbells with the chrome handles like these, and I definitely prefer them. So, some people might be replacing ones. Some people are likely new and just outfitting their gyms, and others might be adding additional dumbbells at weights they don't already have. I'm looking for 30s and 35s, the first as replacements and the second as additional ones because I don't want to make a jump from 30 to 40 on some exercises. Then in a few weeks/months, I'll be looking for 45s and 50+, in all likelihood!

I think its just the generally accepted price for them based on cost to make/ship/etc.

I am working on strength training with my running so need them, and the last free weights I had didn't make the cross country trip, so I have to replace them. They were 100 pounds of stuff I didn't want to bring with me, which is why they stayed behind.

I think the pandemic drove exercise equipment prices way up as people couldn't go to the gym. As a heuristic, people targeted free weight deals for $1/lb because so often (and still is the case) the cost was higher during those years. Check your local CL or Facebook used ads, and you'll see used free weights that people want a $1 per lb on, likely because they bought during the pandemic. The avg price of free weights is likely still over $1/lb. $0.80/lb is a good price, but not "grab it while you can" good. I'd say that $0.50/lb is that good though (based on current market conditions). Everything could change tomorrow, but barring another pandemic or escalating trade war I think the pandemic prices are no longer a good benchmark.
