Need Help, reloading pricing

[BigBear]

Not sure where this belongs... Mods move if need be please (and I apologize in advance).

Long story short: Friend is moving, he has some old reloading stuff he wants to unload (pun intended... ha!). I have it and am cleared to sell it. I know NOTHING about pricing this stuff. Can someone help me price appropriately? We are really hoping for at least $200, but I ahve a feeling that may be high... Let me know what info you need. If you require pics, please be patient as I won't be able to get them up until tomorrow (Saturday).

Thank you in advance,
Tim

Yeah picture of what it is would help!

Press? Brand? model?
dies
components?
Accessories?

A list of items is always a good place to start when selling. Pictures are only if said items are in rough shape.

List and pics a must. Description of condition helpful; i.e. rust, chips, cracks, missing pieces, etc.

Good guy pricing would be an average of $30 per 1K for primers. Hammer the masses i'd go $40-50 per K

The dies are for 357 mag... I'm not sure what happened to te pics...

If the dies are the carbide set, they sell for $31 and change new. None carbide for a lot less.
Used in very good shape, probably $20 - $25 if they are carbide.

I'd give you $25 shipped if they are carbide.

SSB.

[BigBear]

How do I tell if they are carbide?

He also found three boxes of 12 ga. shells (75x). Winchester and federal off the shelf ill throw in the package. Looks like the press itself is about $130. I'll get the stupid pictures up and in the trading post soon. So im thinking about $170 for the whole package? does that seem out of line? we were hoping for $200 but it is what it is. Thanks for the help and patience.

[SideShow Bob]

The box label for the dies should have all the information...

Good luck with the sale. EVERYTHING is used. IMHO $170 is too high.
I'm dealing with a guy trying to sell his multi decade reloading collection, now. Second words out of his mouth after the " I have a truck load of equipment" was "NEW it LIST for $8K". Based on pricing from JAX and SW. My vendors cost, is less new that he wants USED.

It does say "Titanium-Nitride"... I don't know if that's what you're looking for... Seem Wikipedia is a little ambiguous on the matter, at least to my reading comprehension.

Ok, so a total price of $120 for everything would be more in line?... that sucks.

Working on pics right now.

[BigBear]

Ok, here's the pics... again, sorry it took so long. I'm a busy fellow.

Let me know if $120 as a package deal is reasonable and I'll post it up in the trading post. The actual press itself seems brand new, or very, very lightly used. The scale and prime boxes are like new condition. Not sure they've been used. Again, I'm a noob at this stuff.
