haha, I just put Greece in because a country was required when signing up and I didn’t want to put my real country in. I’ve never even been to Greece, let alone know any weightlifting clubs, sorry.
I know I’m a bit late on this for the home gym but I just ordered what I thought was a pair of bumpers (25kg)from bsolympicgym.com for the price you have mentioned of $97 plus shipping but it’s actually only for a single bumper plate so the pair would basically be $200 plus shipping so what you have quoted would actually be double.
Luckily I thought to call to check on my order and got it switched out with a pair of 45# troy bumpers for the same price. I thought I was gonna get a pair of 55 pound bumpers to go with the pendlay elite set that I ordered but that wasn’t the case I probably should’ve just went and got the rogue hg 55’s for a bit extra but oh well.

JP,
Is the weight rack from NewYorkBarbell?
Equipment sale at Elite FTS right now. Sale is through Monday. Check it out. They use JPCleary’s garage gym in their sale article!
Do any of you guys have any experience with Pendlay products? I am thinking about ordering the elite squat rack with flat bench from muscledriverusa.
It’s on sale right now for 569.99, but I am not sure if this is a good quality piece of equipment.
My other option was this Choosing the best pull up station to build muscle - ProFitness
It’s 470.99 and the additional bench is around 250. The shipping to NY is 305.00.
I want something that is good quality that I can Squat and Bench with. Right now I have a Pro-Form fusion weight bench that I can do both of those things with, but it is a piece of crap. After 3 years of abuse the thing is practically falling apart.

First, check craigslist, for both items.
I’ve already got that part done. So far all I can find on craigslist are the types of benches that are similar to what I already have and am trying to get away from.
I gotta give a big shout out to DHS Hercules equipment at http://www.dynamic-eleiko.com/
Its very high quality and very cheap among high end sets. The knurling on the bar is nice, both mens and womens bar spin second only to my eleiko, and the plates are super sturdy. Im very satisfied with this purchase.
