Until you get some posts under your belt, ebay is going to be about your only option for used equipment.

Lee 2 cavity molds are $20 new, great place to start if you are looking to save money. Lee push thru sizers and Alox work just fine for lubing and sizing as well.

You can buy off our "Swapping & Selling" board, you just can't sell anything there until you have the required number of posts, or are here the required length of time. You can find what you want on the auction sites too, like GunBroker or Auction Arms.

If you are new to casting (and your limited information sounds like it) stick with the 45 for the time being and forget casting for the 9mm. Read the stickies on casting for the 9mm before you even think of buying a mold. The 45 is much more forgiving for a newbie. Lee makes several molds appropriate for the 45, and there are multiple posts on here about them. A simple search would be in order.

Agreed. Successful 9mm casting is Bachelors Degree level casting. 9mm is an exercise in frustration until you have the basics mastered. Threads on bullet sizing alone nearly lead to fist fights. [smilie=l:
