Is anyone (preferably from the NW / Leeds) selling either cast-iron plates (ideally around 35kg total in useful increments; 2.5, 5, 10kg etc.) or a decent weight vest?

I'm struggling to find the above for less than £75 from Decathlon.

Looks like there's quite a lot available on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_nkw=weight+plates&rt=nc&LH_Auction=1

Probably be able to get a pretty decent price if you can be bothered to wait (haha) around.

ed: sorry, didnt realise this was in for sale/wanted. Sorry if the tone is a bit off!

The big Tesco's some times have cheap discs. I think I got 2 10K plates for a tenner each.

T_Stub has linked me to somewhere where delivery becomes free over £100; it looks like good value below this as well but I haven't got around to ordering. I also need to order some keylock fencing to make a nice fat pullup bar (and allow me to take weight off during hangs). This will no doubt take me 6 months.
