    Need advice so I can purchase economical reloading equipment
    for my 300 Blackout. I'd also like to load 30 carbine, .30-06, 7.62 x 25, and .223. I do not require a progressive press, unless the price and accuracy are comparable to that of a single stage setup.
    Your input is appreciated.

    Well, it depends.

    If your dies & shell holders are for popular calibers, someone may be willing to buy the whole outfit. But, you may do better selling the outfit in separate parts.

    The % you will recover will be higher for some brands (e.g., Dillon, with their lifetime warranty) than for others.

    There are a lot of folks who look for reloading equipment on Gunbroker (and competing auction sites). If 50% would satisfy you, start there and congratulate yourself if you do better.

    Amber, welcome aboard. If your equipment is Dillon, you should see at least 75% of current retail. I tracked the stuff for about a year before I was able to buy a used setup at that price on line; I've seen it go 90%.

    If RCBS, the press will bring at least 50%, but used dies in common / popular calibers are a drug on the market . . . *new* dies from discounters can be had for not much more than 50% of list. I had a commercial reloading business and sold off about 80 sets of dies and almost as many case forming die sets a few years back. You can easily realize *much* more than 50% on the more exotic tooling simply because it is so bloody expensive special ordered these days. I see people paying 50% and more for motorized / electronic equipment and shake my head, but it does sell.

    Speaking for myself, as a buyer, I'd not give much for equipment and tools from most other makers absent some special considerations too numerous to discuss.

    I hope you will consider ebay/. If you try to sell locally, you will get screwed. If you break it down into single components, you will get a much better price on the national exposure of ebay. It really depends how much of your investment you want to recover. If you use good pictures and a good smart title (for high hits) you can get 75 %
    If you are not familiar, I can help you understand how to make the best of the auction format. I've been doing it a long time.
    Just give me a note if you are interested. I just hate people to lose the value of their items. Happened to me before and I didn't like it.
