More FeeBay Insanity

[novalty]

Stumbled across this auction today for 2 ingot molds (http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vintage-Cast-Iron-Ingot-Molds-Lead-Bars-SAECO-LYMAN-/290885941885?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43ba273a7d) (Lyman & Saeco). Vintage apparently is the key word :shock:

[Frozone]

Wow!
Even though the Lyman IS a bit of a collectable, or a curiosity at least.
It's one of the old reversed 'N' molds.

[dudits]

that is INSANE!!!

[mktacop]

WOW.....I thought $103.50 for a set of Dillon 38Sp dies was nuts (saw that last week)

[300winmag]

They are buying them to make cornbread!!!!!!! Make's them worth more....

[joesig]

You should see what the Bator and NOE molds are going for! (no comment on the guy who bought out NOE to resell on eBay)
Are people really that scared?

Ahh, getting even with us for using their cornbread molds to make ignots....:D

[Kraschenbirn]

Darn!! Outside of mine not being rusty, I've got a pair just like that...one SAECO and one Lyman (w/reversed 'N')...that I've been using for close to forty years. Ya'll think I'd get more if I dunked 'em in saltwater 'fore listin' 'em on FleaBay?

They sound Minty, probably fetch $200.

How about this guy? He is just selling the empty Star boxes. Must be crazy, oh wait, it's me! I'm gonna see just how stupid some of these newbies are!

Commanding use of the word "vintage." Applaud your marketing technique.

[TrapperXX]

Wow, that is a lot for old rusted ingot molds..

[dudits]

krash, what you have is MINT VINTAGE and worth atleast 4x more to yuppies :)

[wyattjames]

how about the guy that is paying 245 bucks for a star 452 sizing die. lathesmith could retire quick at those prices boy he is missing out :D

[psychicrhino]

Wish I had a few of those to sell.

[xacex]

Hey, It's been a good week for me. 4 lee molds, and a lee die set fetched over 630$ off of Ebay to buy/pay for molds from here. Just some junk I had lying around and not getting used. It is the seller fee's that are the rip off.

[Frozone]

Did you notice Springfield's 2 empty boxes have a $20 bid on em.

[Bad Water Bill]

I have THREE matching antique and extremely rare SAECO MOULDS with an evenly matched patina of natural brown PRESERVATIVE protecting their vintage finish.

Do I hear an opening bid of only $400.00?:castmine::bigsmyl2:

[EDG]

The Lyman и ingot molds have always commanded a premium on Ebay.

Items that have been discontinued and are subject to collector interest may bring prices that are insane to us user types.

[alfloyd]

Gee, I have 9 of the Lyman ingot molds with the backward N.
I could retire on the sell of them, OH wait, I am already retired. :)
