I already have looked on MidwayUSA, in fact it's Midway's discounted Lee presses that inspired me to look and see what eBay had.
So I know roughly how much I am willing to spend.
But then (on eBay) there are presses with 9mm, .38 and .45 dies included and still less than the cost of a new one. Shipping is realistic too, I always watch out for extortionate shipping.

I will just see how this goes, plenty on there to watch and learn what the median eBay price is.

Thanks.

Honestly single stage presses , dies ( uppon inspection by good pics or hand ) , priming tools , and other simple items i am not afraid of on used reloading supplys , I stay away from scales , powder mesures ( electronic ) progressive presses ( unless i am buying where i know the history of the press ) and other complex items . There is a time and place to be frugal , other times its best to just buy once and not cry twice . Just my opinion YMMV

Pete

Ha, but it's your opinion I want.

Thanks.

The only USED progressive reloading press I would buy is a Dillon. If something breaks or doesn't work right, They 'll fix it 100%.

Pete

Very true, and I'm very aware of that.

This is my first press, the Dillon will follow once I decide what I need from a reloading set-up.

I agree with all of that, I won't buy used dies anymore, out of three sets, one was crap and I ended up getting a new set to replace it. That's only 33%, and would probably not be the norm, but it was the last set I bought from E-bay, I'm using strictly Lee gear with the exception of two sets (the ones that were okay, but cost as much as new lee dies). $19 - $24 for a brand new set of dies, and knowing what you have aint bad.

again, if you know someone with a FFL, Or even get one your self, take a couple bucks a set off of that and pretty much everything else. my last order was for a telescoping stock, new forend stock with rails, and a vert forend grip for my AK, best price I could find online was $158 for the lot, I saved more than the $30 curious and Relics liscense fee on that one order. Just an idea. Wish I had that back when I bought my press.

P.M. me is you have a specific item you would like to know the discout for a dealer.
