Question regarding reloading equipment value? UPDATED

[rockchalk06]

Update: Checked out the room briefly and I could see the reloader, and most of what he had left. 2 bags of 9mm brass (about 100 rounds) a few boxes of .357 brass, some with primers installed, .357 & .45 bullets and he had 900+ small pistol primers. The reloader itself. I believe the reloaded is an older model Lee turret press? Here’s a pic of the loader. I’m going to pick all the extra stuff up this weekend and inventory it.View attachment 191940

The primers are worth about 70ish in today's market. At that price, you'd sell them quick.

The bullets, it depends on what quantity, type etc. you have. 45 bullets will sell quick in this market. Powder Valley and Midway USA are good places to get the current value. The 357 bullets should sell too. There are a lot of guys around here that load for wheel guns.

The press, I'm going to let the collective jump on that one. I'm a Hornady/RCBS guy. I haven't dealt with Lee stuff in years.

The press on E bay for a 3 hole turret will sell for almost 70 bucks.
The Lee Disc powder measure New will sell for 40-50 dollars and comes with 4 discs.

Used they can be hit and miss as the screws that go into the plastic hopper tend to crack the hopper.
Then it is epoxy time and reloaders know that and usually update to something else.

I actually like the old auto disc measure better than the newer ones with rubber wipers.
But I tweak the clearances on it and modify the drop hole in the aluminum housing to make them work well.

If mine exploded I would pay 25-30 for a used one and be happy after tweaking it.
Or just find a new one and tweak it.

I make loading blocks and a guy that bought a few years ago told me he stuck some cci primers on Gun broker to sell for a rifle he wanted and the last time he looked at the bid it was at 290 bucks!!!!
1 brick of 1000 primers.


If you sell on gun broker and willing to go through the shipping you can get quite a chunk of change for the primers.

Maybe i should have not stated that but it is factual and feasible.

The only problem shipping primers and powder is you have to have a hazmat cert in order to ship

I am interested in the small pistol primers, the 9mm brass and bullets if you have them. Maybe the press also

I'm going to get a full inventory this weekend but I'm sure she would want to sell everything in a package deal if possible.

Yeah, I won't be shipping anything to avoid that. We'll sell it locally if possible.

Jan. 3 2021 I posted older CCI primers here for $50 a thousand and they went quick.
I recently paid 54 a thousand out the door for new ones at a local gun supply.

But like stated the things will bring more.
I did not want to price gouge my fellow reloaders here though and the primers I sold were not for me
I was selling for a friend as he needed the money.

I've finally been able to inventory everything after being sick and working the last 2 weeks...
This is a comprehensive list of everything my brother in law had on his reloading bench. I also took lots of pics as I went thru each box.
My sister would really prefer to sell everything as a lot so she can be rid of it all at once. You guys have really come thru with info in the past, we'd just like to get a reasonable appraisal of what this could be worth in todays market.

@swampratt is this the model that uses the expensive primer arm that isn't made anymore?

I couldn't buy everything, but would be interested in a price for the 9mm stuff including the small pistol primers, turret press, and dies.

I think it’d surely bring $300 for all of it. There’s some stuff there like the loaded ammo that doesn’t really help the value in my opinion. Aside from the 22 ammo.
