Do you think anyone will bid on this one?

More power to the seller if someone bites. Someone paid $175 for a thousand Federal small rifle match primers last week on gunbroker, so this mold would be a bargain.

You've certainly been here a LOT longer than I have sir, but I thought ^%#bay links were prohibited.

[Firebricker]

I sure do but it won't be me !!!

[waksupi]

Sprue, you are generally right, but using a link to point out stupidity is sometimes acceptable.

[mooman76]

I think probably not but the stupidity on ebay never ceases to astonish me. He is starting too high though. I have noticed a lot of items may end up high after they get caught up in the auction but when they start real high allot of times they won't get a bid.

[GLynn41]

I saw it when it came up and if you will start moderate they do better so I agree-- he started way to high-- wish I had gotten in on that group buy _I think

[briang]

Some fool will see the word "custom" and bid on it.

[mooman76]

He is being very generous though. Free shipping!

[GLynn41]

is that not sweet compared to the what 100+he is making-free shipping --hay it is his mold hope he does well

[R.Clem]

I may be old and tired, but the example bullet doesn't look quite the same as picture of the mold interior.
Anybody biding on this?

[Tom W.]

Sure we are......

[Recluse]

Now that's one magical mould! It even cast boolits that are already sized and lubed. [smilie=1: HOW can anyone resist? :roll:

:coffee:

IIRC Ebay links are prohibited in the Swapping and Selling section. If someone finds and article other might be interesting in or something unusual it's been accepted practice to link to the auction. The idea was that members here not be hawking their auctions on this site, not that an odd item couldn't be noted.

[lunicy]

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it's not the posters (CSH) item for sale.

Just MHO. I am in no way an authority or a mod or anything to this board.

[dakotashooter2]

I'll give him 165 "custom dollars" for it!! [smilie=1:

[runfiverun]

darn it i saw he didn't want to sell the boolit.

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure it's not the posters (CSH) item for sale.

No, I'm not the seller, but I'll wish I was if someone bids on it.

[shdwlkr]

have you noticed the large number of NEI molds for sale on that site? You had best know what you are bidding on especially quality wise.
I have been watching the price on several sites sells primers they are going through the moon and it just doesn't make sense to me. Oh well as I go and pay $40-60 for primers when my dealer has them. But I will not pay close to $200 for a thousand not yet any ways.

Some of those NEI moulds were our group buys rejects. They were being sold "as is" on Ebay before the corrected NEI moulds moulds reached the honcho. A dubious business practice IMHO, and quite illustrative.

Caveat emptor.

I had been told that by someone here in our group and just think it speaks volumes to the honesty of the one selling seconds or cast offs as quality merchandise. Sad as they used to be a good source but then so did Redding and others. Seems that the greed that hit wall street has hit a lot of people.
I am so glad I found this site and a couple of others on firearms. I learn so much even when I am right that it is so much fun to come and learn and know that others just want you to be safe.

[Kraschenbirn]

Hmmmm....veeery interesting. Other than being a plain-base (rather than GC) design, that sample boolit looks pretty much identical to one from a "semi-custom" mould I had cut by NEI back in the early 1980s for metallic silhouette shooting. Boolit from my mould dropped at 232 gr. from a ww/lino alloy and weighed out at 238 gr w/lube and GC. Guess my idea was just bit ahead of it's time.

[montana_charlie]

I am not accustomed to seeing such a highly visible parting line on a cast bullet. It has been 'wiped off' by the lube die from the driving band and base, but shows proudly on the nose.

Is that typical of Lee moulds?

CM

[CSH]

I didn't think he would get a bid, but I guess that shows what I know. $165 for a Lee 6 cavity group buy mould.

[BD]

All Right!! At this rate I could probably finance a year of retirement on the 1/2 dozen "custom" molds I've got laying around from the development of the BDacp.

Come to think of it, I have some other "custom" molds I lapped out to try various chamber filling boolits, and extra large meplats in .44

Maybe I could base a retirement business on "customizing" Lee two cavity molds? I have a dremel tool. The downside would be that we'd probably need to keep electing democrats to keep the market strong.
