Hey guys and gals. Please give me your input on my equipment I'm trying to sell. Am I asking too much? Need to sell it as 1. I don't use it and 2. there is something else I am wanting to buy that I have to order from China and get here before end of October.

Is this just a thread to drive people to your ad? You already have a price listed. If no one buys it, it might be priced too high, or the right buyer hasn't seen it. The market will answer your question.

"When you lump a bunch of reloading stuff together, you limit your market to that rare individual who has a bunch of money but doesn't reload or is just thinking about getting into it OR a picker that will break up your stuff and resell it. The latter will offer you pennies on the dollar."

Not at all - just looking for honest input!

Good point. I didn't consider that. If no takers I'll adjust prices per item accordingly and re-list. With that many items its just going to be a PITA to meet up that many times.....

if I were to guess I would say it's priced too high but also as noted it's hard to find a buyer for a whole setup like that. Most may want a few things, then sell the rest (I've done that twice recently to get a press I wanted).

I would separate into groups like powder, bullets, hardware, etc. In the sale post, say you won't meet for less than $200 per sale or something so you don't get someone asking for $30 in bullets (unless they are driving to you, put a specific place to meet for sales near you if that helps).

Most people just getting into reloading are looking to keep it as cheap as possible, so a press, then some accessories, some brass, some bullets, a few pounds of powder, etc.

Thanks for the feedback Speedy! I'll break it down this weekend.

Paint it blue and call it a Dillon, it would sell much faster that way.
