Jeff686 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I was cruzin ebay this evening. It seems someone there is parting out a SDB? Why? Does he think he's going to make money? I always thought of them like Craftsman hand tools. You only need to buy a new part if you loose it. If it breaks, they replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff686 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I started to write a note, but stopped. I was kinda angry at the attempt to profit from people ignorant of Dillon's no BS warranty. The auction is formatted with a generic 'ebay store' look, so it appears to be an uneducated middleman of some kind. I am just so sick of the crap on ebay, getting in the way of a decent exchange of products between individuals. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the BE classified adds.

D. Manley Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I saw the same thing and wondered about it too. IIRC, the same guy had other SDB's he's selling intact. Thing is, I wonder if he reloads at all lest he'd surely know about Dillon's "No B.S." warranty and anyone needing that stuff could have it with a phone call. The prices for the used, individual parts delivered closely mimic Dillon's replacement prices for new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have bought parts for my presses from Dillon over the years. If I break something, I want to be able to fix it immediately, not after a phone call to Dillon and waiting for the mailman to carry the part across the country..... Just because you wouldn't spend money on used parts, doesn't mean that there isn't a market. It also doesn't mean that buyers are necessarily uninformed, they may just be placing a different value on those parts than you would.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare replacement parts make sense, especially those that break more often. Do you keep a spare stripped chassis? He was selling that part too....
