Rest assured all of us Dillon owners (past, present and future) are paying for that in the price of their equipment.
"All of us" depends on when you bought them and when you sell them,what they are worth.
My first ones cost less than this.
A new one costs this.
That is about 300% increase in price over the years. If your not trying to unload it fast, pretty much any Dillon machine will bring 80% of new prices. This is because a new one is the same as an old one (they actually have differences in the main casting but if you can break one they send a new one to you). If you sell during a "panic" they can bring even more. I sold a 650 after the last election and sandy hook for over $1800.
The same cannot be said of other progressives of "the day" or even current models. Hornady's loose the "free bullet" value, hope you got the more expensive rifle bullets. Lee is troubled by folks that just can't get them to run and give them away. RCBS changes too many things and scare people that have had old machines from buying new ones.
