Correct and good question

If "expensive" means beyond his means then none.
if some dude regardless of age is looking at building his own gym in his own garage or back porch and has no experience in lifting in a gym then he's looking at a very short hobby IMO.

With Olympic bars you have $100 bars then the 3-600 range. What benefit do you have by getting something more than the $100 one wether you can afford it or not.
I'll always coin the phrase 'buy the best you can afford'. I know there are diamonds in the rough sometimes, but as a rule of thumb purchasing quality usually costs.
Not that I have a great deal of experience buying gym equipment, the above is the advice I'll offer.
I'm honestly willing to spend all up in total about 1k, give or take.
I wouldnt
i bought a nice bar and I love it, it's a thing of beauty.
Assuming new... the cheaper one is usually 32mm in diameter instead of 28mm, and has either very soft knurling and chrome (that does chip off over the years) or cheese grater knurling. It's also a less whippy steel, so a bit rough to use for the quick lifts, and more likely to permanently bend with long use.what are the fundamental differences between the $100 and the $300?
