I went back and read the OP post again. He says the machine is 1 year old? That is new. Once again Full Pop or 95% with free shipping.
There isn't any reason to lose money on this tool. And especially if you don't "REALLY NEED TO SELL IT."
Really,,, a better Idea is to keep it. You might not be using it right now but the time might come when you want to pump out a bunch of .223's, Then you'll have the right machinery to do the job.
Love Life is selling his 1050, however he just finished loading a life time supply of .308's so it would be another 10+ years before he needed it again, so in that case, sure sell it. He won't ever need it again. But I bet he buys a new gun with the money.
I almost sold all of my reloading tools about 15 years ago because I hadn't used them in a few years. A friend talked me out of it simply because I really didn't need the money (which would have been $100) and now I thank him frequently for talking sense to me.
Just because you don't use a tool often does not mean you won't have use for it someday. I have tools in my Machine shop I haven't used in years, but then a job comes along and bam I got the tool and I don't have to go buy one or try to borrow one which would invariably cost me more than I paid in the first place.
All you have to do is put the thing back in the box and put it somewhere it won't get defiled and leave it sit. It won't go away and will still look new.
When you are done with reloading and shooting then you sell your stuff off. Look at it as an asset worth money, and also look at what you'd do with the money should you sell it now? If you let your wife know about it, that money will get spent on some useless BS! Food partying, diapers, bills IE all useless BS!
I consider it to be selling your dreams.
I watched as a guy I met was selling his Jeep TJ on EBay that was repowered with a Cummins 4Cyl. It was a beautiful Jeep and was converted very nicely. It was worth $20K easily.
He put it on EBay and got less than $10K for it, and he used the money to pay bills from having a kid, because his wife didn't feel comfortable with having doctor bills.
Well he didn't get all the bills paid off, so now he's still got bills and no Jeep, and now his wife left him and he's got not wife either! But he still has all the bills.
He sold his dream! IN fact he squandered his dream for his wife's peace of mind and when he didn't deliver, she left him!
He'll never get another Jeep like it!
You never sell assets to pay simple bills, and especially Medical Bills.(they make way too much and insurance co's are among the worst offenders. When you get done you have no assets and generally have NOT paid off the bills either. So then you have nothing and your are still in Debt. Let them wait and find another way to pay them off. They can't repossess you car because you have medical bills.
Being in Debt is not a quantifiable thing. Debt is Debt. You are no worse off in the real world if you owe $2000 or $2 Million. There is no "Debtors Prison" in the US. If you owe the IRS $10,000 you can get a Lawyer renegotiate it down to $1000 easily. If you are willing to pay something bill collectors will leave you alone. You can always file Bankruptcy! Which more people are doing nowadays than ever before simply because the banks stole their homes.
I would however avoid getting behind with Loan Sharks as they will kick your **** or worse.
Now if you sell your equipment to buy a nice gun I can see that. I just sold three rifles and bought a $2000 shotgun. Gun money must stay in guns, and not in the ole' ladies' purse.
Keep your dreams close to your chest! People will steal them if they can!
