glynnm45 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I just watched a Dillon early primer warning unit (incomplete) sell on Ebay for $28 + shipping. Now, I really don't understand folks that are intelligent enough to buy Dillon equipment in the first place, but ignorant of the actual retail value of the goods they are bidding for. I guess it's a matter of getting caught up in the bidding frenzy. Myself, I am buying the same unit for $24.95 from Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 After hearing EBAY's antigun stance and how people have been screwed buying there, I have never bothered to go look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemonkey001 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 it's usually just the accessories. most of the time, the accessories, will go for close to retail to just over retail (if you factor in shipping as well) and it doesn't make since to purchase it on eBay. Maybe some people don't know any better? i've gone to Brian for all my accessories as well if i can't get it locally. but for the presses, sometimes you can snatch up a pretty good deal, but most of the time, they end up being more than if you purchased it new here from Brian, who charges nothing to ship most presses. for example, i saw a SDB go for $275 SHIPPED, it was a Buy it Now auction. I've seen an SDB w/ two sets of dies go for $300 shipped. i haven't been able to find good deals on any 550's or 650's though. at the prices they go for, you might as well buy new, and buy from Brian. most of the people on ebay charge you high shipping fees like $30 - $50. i understand it's a large box, but i've had presses shipped to me in factory boxes for $20.

benos Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've heard quite a few horror stories of ebay Dillon purchases from customers, over the years. Paid too much... stuff missing that would have came with what they bought if they bought it from me or Dillon. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Several years ago I watched a used 550 with a couple of caliber conversions sell for more than a new 650. Go figure. There are many stoooopid people out there! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdm74 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have watched many things sell for more then retail. People do love to bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankfan79 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 There is an avid Enos user who sells Dillon supplies on Ebay. Sometimes they go for more than what you can get if for new. Just the way auctions work....I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodell Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 eBay is a very efficient marketplace, that makes it nearly impossible to get a deal on "popular" items. I've bought a few Dillon things, but they are usually ones that are odd in some way or end in the middle of the night. Oddly enough, some people don't know where to buy Dillon stuff ...

mugenmanxr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have sold many things on ebay (not any Dillion) and people pay way to much (good for me). That is one reason why I bought my Dillion from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimmer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I've bought a few Dillon things, but they are usually ones that are odd in some way or end in the middle of the night... +1 I've bought a couple Dillon items on eBay for well under retail: powder bars, primer filler tubes. Like Rodell said, it's the odd bits that nobody else seems to want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBore56 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I buy my golf clubs on E-Bay and my Dillon stuff from Brian! Reloading equipment usually goes high on e-bay...sometimes more than my local gunshop sells it for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undrpsi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I've bought a few Dillon things, but they are usually ones that are odd in some way or end in the middle of the night... +1 I've bought a couple Dillon items on eBay for well under retail: powder bars, primer filler tubes. Like Rodell said, it's the odd bits that nobody else seems to want... +2 A mint sets of dies for about half price. An $25 assorted box of spare parts that was mostly used..but did have 8 small primer tubes (?!!??) with it. Best one (for me) was on gunbroker...I won a set of NIB .44 dies and conversion kit for $72..after I paid him and exchanged some emails he asked if I wanted to buy his NIB 550b and NIB .45 dies and conversion kit for another $300. So I got a NIB 550 with two conversion kits and die sets for less than $400...I was skeptical until I got it in...everything WAS brand new. Gave it to my best friend whose hours had gotten reduced. With Christmas he had put his reloader plans on hold until next year...made his day when I dropped off the 550b. Now we both get to shoot more (which was my evil plan to begin with!!) As a seller I L-O-V-E Ebay...I can usually get 80% retail...even on USED junk. Undrpsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdlong1 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I agree in general -- but I did get my first 650 off ebay -- some lady selling her ex-husbands stuff -- (after this purchase I had guns and gun related items added to my prenuptials!) Anyway it was a good deal and a good transaction. Although good deals are hard to come by on ebay now there is still some increased security over a simple classified section.
