Looking to start building a small home gym. Already have some standard barbell plates but would like/need to add some more. The ones listed on the Facebook marketplace are rusted or look like they've been through hell and back. Google only showed Fitness Expo, Academy, and Dick's. Anyone have any advice on where to get new or lightly used weight plates?

TIA

Walmart and Target have some decent options. Facebook marketplace is always a safe bet but I know you said you checked there. Maybe broaden the search area.

I’ve gotten all of mines from Academy or Dicks.

Feel like you’re overthinking this.

Academy has good weights. Their bars are cheap.

You can order and have delivered from Rogue, Rep, Titan, Fringe, Bolt, etc., but if you're patient you can order a bulk deal and save a little money.

Also, don't rule out FB marketplace. Search near a military base. Sometimes, when someone in the military moves they sell off their entire home gym and you can get a good deal.

Watch Walmart for sales. I picked up a set of TruGrit bumper plates for pretty cheap - less than$1/lb. All weights were on spec. 45lbs is 45 lbs Not trying to impress anyone with popular brand names

I bought most of my stuff from PRX online. Great customer service.

I used to get all my stuff from play it again sports. I dont know if they have many stores left but you can still go on their website and buy used stuff and have it shipped.
