I bought 4 shotshell reloaders with powder and about 10 pounds of lead shot. I figured i'd keep one that I like the most and sell the other 3. Can anyone tell me about how much they go for? I have a MEC 600 JR Mark 5, MEC Versa-Mec, Lee Load-All II and Lyman Easy. Thanks for any help.

If this was the old GN someone would have let you know in about 10 min.
Have been getting big in the hand loading for a while and there is always something I need to know in a hurry but not now.
I think I will camp out here for a while. Might get interesting again.

These are looking nice. I would like to know one thing that are you wishing to sell them individually or all the three loaders at a time. Because the price may depends on this. I think if you sell them individually you can gain better profit.

I am not qualified to tell you what they are worth. I have a Mec Jr. for 12 ga. that I've been using since I was 13 years old. It is still able to load shells as well as it did when it was new.

The Lee and the Lyman presses I don't know much about. Speaking broadly, most Lee brand items are made of aluminum or pot metal castings. That said I would expect them to not hold up well to high useage. I have personally worn out a Lee Prime All tool in one shooting season when I shot competition actively. I replaced it with an RCBS tool and it has never worn out in coming up on 20 years.

Lyman equipment is usually steel or Iron in construction so it should last just fine. You should try eacy type out and keep the one that seems to work best for you. I'd suggest looking at what the new ones sell for by going to each company's home web site and see what the MSRP is then cut it to 1/3 rd to 1/2 the price and try that as your sell price for each unit.

the press's you have aren't worth that much
the lee loadall is worth about 45.00 bucks new
the Lyman easy loader hasn't been made in about 20 years(worth more as parts)one just sold for $20.50
the versamec is worth about $75.00 to $100.00 depending on how good of shape its in
the mec 600 jr is worth about 150.00 (I have 2 12ga and 410)
the thing about older reloaders are the bushings if you dont have them good luck finding them.
