Closeout and Blemished FAQs

What are closeout and blemished items? +

These are new, seconds-quality barbells and equipment. Items may have minor cosmetic issues (finish blemishes, slight inconsistencies) but are guaranteed to arrive in ready-to-train condition. Features may vary from first-tier products.

Will my closeout bar have center knurl? +

Possibly, though not likely unless you purchase a Powerlifting bar.

Will my closeout bar have dual-knurl rings? +

This feature varies and is not guaranteed.

Will my closeout bar have a recessed weld (vs. conventional sleeve design)? +

This feature varies and is not guaranteed.

Will my closeout bar have branded end caps? +

It's possible but not guaranteed. Note: Stainless steel sleeves on select bars (OB20-IPF-P, OB20-GB-P) cannot take traditional end caps due to design.

Do closeout or blemished items come with a warranty? +

No. All closeout and blemished equipment are final sale and do not carry a warranty.
