It appears in great condition so it should bring near that I would think as a unit. If someone wants to buy part of it I would price higher. If they want all of it might take a bit less.
 
I sold a bunch of my stuff when I foolishly spent 10 times as much money to upgrade to bougie 50 BMG stuff.

I had the basic RCBS kit and I think I got four or 500 bucks for the press and the dies and some other little dude dads here and there. THE trouble is it’s hard to find a buyer unless you’re gonna give them a substantial deal on the whole kit and caboodle. And no offense but a bunch of the stuff you have is redundant or not useful like for example the trim die

Nobody wants your reloads and few people want your loaded projectiles which are difficult to ship and so are the primers impossible to ship. So for that stuff you need a local buyer limiting your market. The primers you have now go for a dollar apiece so they are the most valuable part of everything you listed.

Guys think 50 BMG brass is worth a lot but it’s not after it’s been fired. I sold a bunch of ones fired horny and fully prepped meaning crimp removed, full length sized and a kneeled, and all of that and I think I got $.75 a case for them a while back.

So in some, you are limited by the buyers market and the demand is limited and a lot of it’s gonna have to be a local sale. My guess is it will have to be fire sale prices to get rid of it at least that was my experience.

This was the response I was looking for and expecting. I appreciate it!
