SOLD PENDING MEETING.
Thanks everyone!

I have reached the stage in my life where I need to get rid of my reloading stuff. There is a LOT of stuff here.

The collection includes dies, bullets, powder, primers, and cases for 44 magnum, 357 magnum, 9mm, 380 acp, .308 win. (I think that's all ;-) )
Other equipment:
- RCBS single press
- Lee Perfect Powder Measure and Lee Pro Auto Disk powder measure.
- OHAUS 505 scale and OHAUS 10-10 scale
- Lee Autobench primer tool
- Other... bullet pullers, sizing tool, etc.... Whatever else I have, will go.

Powders include Bullseye, AA#9, Power Pistol, Unique, BE-86, Win 296, HP 38. Most are partially used (>half full) but a few are unopened.
Number of cases range from a few hundred to thousands for each caliber

I do not want to break this up into multiple sales.
I intend to give you a crazy good deal. But I want to get something slightly reasonable for it all.
I want to do it in a safe manner that will not endanger myself, my family, nor the fine ODT member who collects it all.
- With that in mind, I will require a GWL, and will show you mine
I would consider a trade but prefer to deal in cash.

If I find the right person who is interested in the whole lot, I'll give that person a more detailed breakdown of what is here.

Two questions:
1) How would you advise me to proceed?
2) Who would like to take a look and make an offer?
 
Opened powders are probably best for fertilizing your garden. Unopened powder I’d look at 75% of new. For the equipment and dies I’d look at 50% of current retail. Maybe the bullets at 50% too if there is a decent quantity of each type, less if there is just a handful. For the brass I’d look at 30% of retail.

I know it’s not much, but lots of people loaded up on reloading equipment during the ammo shortage, and now that things are returning to normal don’t need as much. And if you’re trying to sell to a single buyer, not many folks will actually need all of the items, so they’ll price the lot at a discount.

I know it’s a kick in the nuts, but the market is soft right now.
 
Here are some pictures.
Things not pictured include bullets, brass, and miscellaneous reloading tools.


I weighed the powder canisters on a food scale, except for the AA#9 which was too heavy for the scale so I weighed it on the bathroom scales.

I'm not trying to make money here. Just trying to find someone who can use the stuff.
 
Pictures and counts of the bullets and cases would be a monumental task. If you are seriously interested and need to know quantities of a specific item, PM me.

As for price, I'll work that out with the interested party. If you take the entire lot, I PROMISE you that you will be happy with the price.

Powder, Primers and projectiles will go quick if you price it right, the consumables are usually the first to go. As far as brass, unless they are in a demand caliber, they will take awhile to unload. For your equipment, price one of the comparable kits and maybe 50-60% of that value, unless you have some vintage stuff that folks like to collect.
