    It varies, but my guess is around $200 or so, depends on what you include with it.
    It may be a wise thing is to sell it auction style in the swappin' and sellin' section.

    From what I've seen, sizers seem to go at 200+ish more ish for better condition..and dies at 30+/- ish depending on diameter popularity.

    If you have bullet feeders, lube heaters, and pressure systems then I don't know.

    I concur with JonB_in_Glencoe by going auction style in the swappin' and sellin' section.

    However, if that's too much trouble and you just want the sizers gone and the money fast, like in less than 5 minutes fast, then post them for sale in the swappin' and sellin' section around the 200ish range.. that's the price range where the post it, and it's sold records are set on Star lube sizers.. lol

    Are you SURE you want to sell them? If you do, you won't have the "spares" if you need them. I realize that sometimes space is limited & keeping spares is difficult. I'd like to help you out, you can send your extra sizers & dies to me. I will store & "care" for them for you, then, when you have need of one, I can send it back to you. This way, you will have spares available without taking up too much of your space. There is no charge for this service.

    thanks for the offer to store them, but after 50 years of buying it is time to sell off a bunch. Will be out of town for a while and need to make up my mind what to do with the stuff. I used to buy the stars everytime I would find them reasonable and set them up for different calibers, just don't need many anymore...Russ

    Well, this site DOES have a "swappin' & sellin'" section...
