Is $29 for an MEC SM77 a good deal?

[NicVerAZ]

The press looks complete although with a bit of rust. I cranked it and rotated the stations, it looks sound.

From what I understand the store which deals with a lot of estate sales and "my father died, my mother wants it all gone" types of deal. The dude apparently had an old school homemade tumbler with a huge military can and an electric drill for a motor (also for sale, but even for $1, nope).

So the MEC SM77 looks a bit rusted in some areas and I did not have the type to check what gauge it was but more likely it is 12. Also included are shots and an extra canister.

I already stole the Lyman Crusher for $45 as well as a RCBS powder dispenser for $15. Brand new Dillon 30-06 die set for $14. Yes, hate me.

Should I go back for the shotshell reloader or forget about it?

I do not reload shotsheels for now but in the future I very well might.

Thanks for the advice.

Sure, why not ??

That rust can be cleaned off. As long as the machine functions ok, you can't go wrong for $29.00.

$29 is twice as good a deal as the one I saw go for $66 on fleabay a week or 10 days ago.
