There are many online classified sites that people sell used fitness equipment on. A few that top the list are Craigslist.org, Backpage.com. You can also find wholesale items, discount merchandise and used items on Ebay.com.
Another great place to look is at garage sales. You will find most listed in classified in the local newspaper, and also signs on street corner with individual sales, and even whole additions that are having a sale. Of course, when the weather is bad this will not do you much good.
One of my all time favorites is to attend an estate auction, plus there are many local auction houses that have merchandise weekly, every other week, and monthly. If you have not been to an auction, you really should go sometime, as you will find many types of merchandise for a much cheaper price than you will find elsewhere.
Another idea is moving sales. Sometimes they will be advertised in the local paper, and other times you will hear about them by word of mouth or you may just stumble upon a sign someone has displayed who is having a moving sale. Most people don't want to take stuff they do not use or want anymore.
The last idea is just to be observant when visiting friends and family. I have seen several pieces of exercise equipment that someone has been using it to hang stuff on. Offer them a deal to take it off their hands and you may be taking the item home with you.
