Second-hand sports & outdoors in Detroit typically sells for $11 to $810. Plates and free weights hold value almost indefinitely, having nothing to go wrong, while anything with a motor and a screen falls away as the electronics age. Complete sets sell far better than odd pieces nobody can match.

Buying sports & outdoors in Detroit
Detroit has more automotive knowledge per head than anywhere else in the country and an enormous stock of older housing.
Weight is the whole difficulty here: a rack of plates or a rowing machine costs more to send than to buy, and most carriers will not take either. Whoever can bring a car and a second pair of hands is the buyer who gets it.
What to check in person
Check the padding and upholstery for splits, since foam that has gone hard is unpleasant and awkward to replace. Count the plates, collars and attachments against the description, and look at threads and cables for fraying or rust.
Collecting it in Detroit
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking. Distances are long, so agreeing a meeting point on a main route rather than a specific address saves both sides time.

The older housing stock means genuine estate clear-outs are common, and those are where the better furniture comes from. Automotive equipment circulates continuously rather than seasonally.
Give the folded and unfolded dimensions and the weight, because the buyer needs to know whether it will go through a door and up the stairs. Say plainly that it needs two people if it does. Peaks hard in January and again in early spring, then falls away over the summer.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
