    Where do I buy a Star?

    The only place I have seen is to buy direct. Any other options / suggestions / resellers that contribute here and deserve the business?

    hmmmm....thought i replied....

    good luck finding a used Star.....lots of folks here on the forum have tracking software to find them as soon as they hit the market....LOL

    that said with the recent run on all things shooting (firearms, components, ammo and such) the lead time on the Star from Magma is about 8-12 weeks....BUT, IMHO, well worth the wait....

    call Magma...good folks to deal with and GREAT customer service too...

    Try the usual places e*ay, here in selling and swapping, and craigslist. I now have a couple, but took me a while.

    Good thing I got my matrix undies on today!

    That Vintage Star Lube-sizer with light surface rust is already at $305 + $12 shipping with 4 more days for it to get jacked up even higher.

    It will probably go up by $200 more before the auction ends.

    Star went out of business years ago. It was restarted once and shut down and there's a possibility that someone is starting it up again. But finding a good Star is not easy, since most are used and in some cases abused. I've loaded on a Star starting in 75. Love them and 100 times better than Dillons. I know of someone that buys them used and refurbishes them.

    Considering the fact that Star went under years ago, not a surprise at all. Good used ones are hard to find.

    I think they are talking about the sizer not the reloader. You can get a new Star sizer from Magma, there is just a pretty long wait cause of all the craziness now.
