I had one of those aha moments today. I went into a Play It Again Sports store to look for an inexpensive golf set for my youngest son for Christmas. I walked in and was blown away by the huge quantity of workout dumbells, kettle bells, bands, tubes, workout gloves, used treadmills, recumbent bikes, nautilas sets and workout benches that were available at a fraction of the cost that I paid for these same things at a national sporting good chain. I was floored. I could have saved so much money if I had bought my stuff there. They also had Pilates magic circles and weighted balls that were still in origianl boxes. I'm sure they got alot of this at chain close-out opportunities.
Learn from my mistake! If you are going to listen to my ideas of making a home or traveling gym by having tubes, band or weights, go and check out their prices first!
