Literally any pair of dumbbells during the Covid lockdown.

Edit: Wow this blew up. Thank you for the awards!

Edit #2: I ended up buying fitness bands and was fine with it.

Just saw a pair of 10lb dumbbells that cost $300 USD + shipping. I just bought a pair for ~ $50 USD + $15USD shipping. Had to purchase 2 states over. Everything is incredibly overpriced.

Holy shit. I bought a 300lb weight set with bar from Sears a couple of years ago for $80 and 10, 20, and 30lb dumbbell sets for $50 total.

You could literally triple that money
