    Default Microplates for sale

    Updating my microplates for sale thread, as I've been out of the loop for a while.

    English (pound) microplates, 2 each:
    0.25 lbs
    0.5 lbs
    0.75 lbs
    1 lb (for 0.5 lb increments between 0-5 lbs)
    - and -
    0.625 lbs
    1.25 lbs (for 1.25lb increments between 0-5 lbs)

    Metric (kg) microplates, 2 each:
    0.125 kg
    0.25 kg
    0.375 kg
    0.5 kg
    - and -
    0.313 kg
    0.625 kg

    The metric microplates are the true weight in kg - not just my standard weights re-marked in kg. As a result, each plate in the set is 10% heavier than the equivalent pound plate. Because of this, the metric microplates will not fit in a small flat rate box like the English set did. This is why the metric set has a higher price - the additional shipping cost is included in the price. All weights are laser cut, shot blasted, and coated with a light spray of WD-40 (penetrating oil) to prevent rust. If you wish to paint them you need to first wash off the oil with hot soapy water an dry thoroughly. If not, the paint will probably not stick.

    2021 pricing:

    English (pound) microplates - $36 (includes shipping in the US)
    Metric (kg) microplates - $45 (includes shipping in the US)
    English and Metric, one complete set of each, combined shipping in the US included - $75

    Bulk rates and international shipping - Email or message me and I'll figure out pricing for orders of 3+ sets or international shipping.

    Payment instructions - The easiest way to pay is by sending the correct amount to dwm81781@yahoo.com on PayPal. Please include your mailing address in the comments. Cash or check by mail is fine also, email or message me for my address.

    Excellent news, Dan! We've been getting quite a bit of use out of our set.

    For those that need microplates, these are the way to go. The whole set fits comfortably into a gym bag with your belt and shoes. In your house, they don't take up much space at all on the plate tree.

    I bought mine from you a few years ago. They are perfect. I still haven’t figured out when I would use a 5/8 though.

    Dan's plates are amassing! I carry a pair of 2.5s and 1.25s in my gym bag. I measured them at work on a calibrated scale and as they say here in Queens's, they are dead on balls accurate!

    Hi dan,

    Been a while since the last reply in this thread just wondering if you’re selling these plates?

    Thanks

    Probably best to email him, Precious Snowflake. It looks like he hasn't logged on here since May 2021, which isn't unusual for him.

    Did you place your order? How long did it take to ship? I ordered two sets a week ago.
