You would be surprised at the amount of used stuff i have accumlated and use almost daily, i was when i though about it. It was obtained from garage sales, individuals, swap meets, gun shows, etc. How about RCBS Junior - $20, 2 Lyman 450 Lubrisizers - $20 apiece (25 years apart), RCBS lubrisizers with 6 dies and top punches - $65, RCBS Rockchucker with seven or eight sets of dies - $100, and the list goes on and on. Oh, and not one, but three good balance beam scales for $15 apiece! Point is, look around and the deals are out there. Sometimes new is nice, but sometimes extra denero for primers is nice, too. I've been at this for thirty years, so don't think you can accumulate this stuff in a weekend. The good deals come once in a blue moon, so be prepared to recognize them. sundog
