Man I need to get to more garage sales. My only prize finds are my lyman gen 6 powder dispenser I got on ebay for $120 and an 8 lb jug of 4831sc I got just before everything got expensive. Full retail at $110.

Amazing how we Get tired of what we once loved to do. Hope I never get tired of reloading.Saw a Dillon SDB in 9mm on craiglist at an estate sale for $400. Called on it on a Friday to see if she still had it, but couldn’t make it out before the sale was over as I had family stuff come up. Texted the seller on Monday and apologized for not making it and told her I wished her well assuming it was sold. She texted back that it was not sold and that the estate liquidation offered her $140 for it. I asked her what her best cash price thinking it would be more, but she said $100. I met her 30minutes later and had it in hand. Turns out it was a couple downsizing for a move, and they were glad I could use it. We had a great conversation and I took it home. About 3 weeks later she texts and asks if I wanted “the stuff that went with it”. She had found another box of stuff and told me it was mine if I wanted it. I couldn’t get over there fast enough. It had a Dillon beam scale, a Lyman Turbo Twin, 1000 once fired brass, an RCBS bullet puller, a set of calipers, several bags of tumbling media, and several bullet trays! I offered to pay her for it, but she was just really happy that someone could use “all that old stuff. “
My goodness. Were they various powders or all the same?After the closure of a regional store chain i scored a half pallet of smokeless powder for about $3 per pound.
I'm "tickled" if I just find some used brass that's a caliber that I load ...Heck, I'm tickled if somebody just gives me free used brass!
On 2 different occasions I bought complete Dillon SDB’s with 2 caliber changeovers for $50.00 ea.
I have also bought 2 perfect Star reloaders in .45 and .38 and a star lubrisizer with about 10 sizer die sets and 2 6 cavity Lyman molds all for $200.00!
I have also bought 4 MEC 9000’s(1 ea in 12,20,28 and .410) for $500.00 and a Dillon SL900 for $400.00.
One guy had a bunch of 30 Carbine brass (RA 53 headstamp) that looked like it had been buried at sea since the Korean War that he was asking 20 cents a piece. When I pointed out I could buy new Starline brass for 24 cents each, he said that if he sold for less it would dishonor his grandfather's memory.
That's too much like getting married, and then not going on the honeymoon for 17 years !My great find was a 2nd hand UNUSED Dillon RL550B.
It was new in 1993, but never used til I opened it in 2010.
