Fabzz613 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 What is the normal price you would expect to pay for a 550B used. I'm thinking about getting one I saw there about 440 new for the press and a caliber kit (without dies) as I have got dies already. Been loading the past couple years on a single stage lee press haha. So a little bit of a step up So is it worth getting a used one. I'm glad that you don't have to worry if something dosnt work coz dillon will fix it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that you don't have to worry if something dosnt work coz dillon will fix it Cheers Good question, I just purchased a 550B after looking around quite a bit. I learned that Dillon presses definitely hold their value, and for some strange reason, there are idiots on Epay that are willing to pay more for a used machine than what they could get the new one for... some of the bids I saw just don't make sense!! If I could have found one locally for $100 less I probably would have bought it, but there were none for sale so I bought new, glad I don't have to search any longer How is the availability of used machines "down-under"?

Fabzz613 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Availability of new machines is great a member of our club is the Aussie distributer. And you can find them when people are uprading because you have to be a member of a club so everybody knows each other and if you talk to people you will find one. The thing is I'm moving to the US in a week and a half so I'm looking to find one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueeyedme Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Anything better than 80% of new is a pretty good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeislarge Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If you're patient, and use the search bar regularly, you can find them on Craigslist occasionally. Just be ready to jump on one if it does pop up, as they don't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin SR Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Bought a second 550b through Craig list, I paid $368 including shipping. It came with a choice of 2 tool heads plus Dillon dies. The package should get here by Tuesday, how well did I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewst359 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Ya. I just sold my loadmaster on fleebay and actually made money. Couldn't believe it. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentkimterry Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I watch Dillon equipment on ebay a lot. At those prices, I will be buying all my Dillon new from Brian. If new is only a little bit more, it only makes sense. Just got my new 550b! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
