    Depends on condition, specific models of equipment ect... Some stuff might be worth a couple bucks some stuff might be worth a good chunk of change.

    Welcome to the zoo, Lew. It really depends completely on *what* you have and the condition it is in. An A-2 press or a regular Rock Chucker? Standard .30-06 dies or for the .22-15-60 Stevens? Real early Speer manuals or standard Lyman manuals of that period? 7.62x51 milsurp brass or 9.3x72R Norma? You can figure this out by perusing the offerings here and elsewhere. Thirty - fifty year old powder and primers will be virtually impossible to sell unless it is to a local individual who can get his money back if they are NFG.

    If you wish to send me a list of what you have, I could look it over, make some suggestions on values and possibly make an offer on some things. I'm *not* looking to buy a bulk lot unless the prices are ridiculously low. I've bought two huge lots over the years and have more tools / equipment than I can use . . . mostly . . . but there are a few things from that era I would like.

    Ed, Chuck,
    Do you have an A-3 or a B press?
    Odd dies or bullet swage dies?
    Instructions from that period?
    Other makes of obsolete equipment?
    Cheers from Darkest California,
    Ross

    [8D]Thanks for all the advice. My RCBS press is an RCBS Jr.
    Have dies for .243 .30-06 .38 Sp .357 Mag Primers for pistol/rifle
    box (about 500) of .357 brass from Midway (like new) I need to sit down & inventory all this stuff. I havn't done any reloading since I taught my youngest son about 15 yr ago. Both my sons are married & tending to their families & don't have time/energy for reloading/guns anymore. Lew edspec@pagosa.net
