actually i planned on buying my own barbell and platform and racks, last year when i moved to new house since i got a spare room, but of course the plan didnt go well, ended up extended my gym membership for another few years

with only a barbell and platform, you can do
rows, clean to overhead press, deadlifts, curls, clean to front squat, and some oly lifts
barbell and adjustable squat rack and platform
you can do back squat, overhead press from rack, front squat from rack and heavy calves raises on top of those above
so you will still need an adjustable bench or a dip rack to work on chest, triceps and whatnot

all in, its going to cost a lot, if you have the money, cost is not a problem, dont rmb you still needed to clean the place and maintain the equipment yourself

not worth the hassle imo
