Where should I look to find the best deal on a treadmill

[Bombtrack]

there has got to be some savvy shoppers here. I already own enough workout equipment(weights, etc) that it's dumb for me to continue to pay for my gym membership and I'm moving into an apartment that has enough room and a lack of proximity to neighbors who would be disturbed by my working out.

But it's in an area of town that sucks to run in. So I'm looking for a good deal on an affordable treadmill. New, used, I don't care as long as it's dependable and inexpensive.

Any suggestions?

1. If there's a Play it Again sports near you, I'd look there

I got a used weight bench from them for very cheap.

2. Dependable and inexpensive are mutually exclusive. >

Inexpensive treadmills are a waste of money. They skip, they break, the motors get noisy and burn out.

You might get lucky and find a lightly-used professional model, but it'll still be expensive.

3. I bought a treadmill on an auction site

I bought a nice treadmill on ubid.com a few years ago. It came with a warranty and everything (it is a Keyes treadill). They delivered it and the delivery cost was $125.00. However, even with that added in I got the treadmill for about $450.00.

Its still going too btw ... lol (lack of use!).

4. You wouldn't believe the number of "exercise equipment" available

at the second-hand (a.k.a. junque) store down the street from my work . . .

5. Walk to the farthest store in your city or town

When you get there ask yourself if you really need it.

just kidding

play it again sports is a good idea.

6. you might try a pawn shop

although most pawnbrokers don't like exercise equipment as there's lots of used stuff out there due to the 90 day/ clothes rack usage that most equipment gets. That stuff also takes up a lot of room.

8. Walk around and you might find a deal you can live with

9. Thrift store, etc.

There's tons of work out equipment that gets used a week and disposed of. Try newspaper classified. Pennies on the dollar, well almost.
