My reloading equipment haul.

[ScouT6a]

Had to share my recent good fortune.
A friend recently told me about a elderly gentleman that was going to sell off his reloading equipment. After a few attempts, I was able to make contact with the gentleman and go look at the equipment.
Here is what I ended up buying.

WOW----great "Find"---
You must have been on "The Good List"

Item number one is worth more than $450 alone... Great find

 

[Hookeye]

Good haul.
Pops just scored a T mag for $70. Needs minor cleanup.
Been looking for one LOL............dunno if I can wrangle it away.........he collects presses.
Has at least 60.
Odd dude he is.

The old Ideal/Lyman 55 is a good one. Liked the old one I had. Traded a chrome beam Herters scale for it.
Grew up using an OHaus scale. Pops just got another in the box...........for something like $30.

This sounds like the same deal Lovemywoods and I found a few years ago. Congratulations on a great find!

 

[Bennettjh]

[oldpink]

[throttletony]

Congrats. great find.

 

[Bfish]

Congrats man! You got the deal of a lifetime!

 

[IndyGlockMan]

Wow, that's a smok'n good deal.
With the 550 only being 3 years old, you know the guy knew what all the stuff was worth.
You better send him a belated Christmas card!

You better send him a belated Christmas card!

And some soothing salve.

I was prepared for him to put a price on everything and then me to counter offer. When he threw out the $450 price, I just retch for my wallet.
Talked to him a few weeks ago, and he was showing me a spotless, beautiful, 2001 Chevrolet 2500 HD Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4x4 with 27,000 original miles, that he just sold to his neighbor for $15,000.

Nice. You should count your blessings.

 

[Leadeye]

Good deal.
