Here's an opportunity to get in on the fun of the Star machine, 6 days remaining, biddings at $100 as I write this. Includes a 429 die.
I already have one so you won't be bidding against me.

Hmmmm....bidding is now at $355 plus $15 shipping for a nice but used Star Lubsizer....and Magma wants $335 and probably the same shipping chargers for a brand spanking new one WITHOUT a die....
bet this goes to $400!!!

I had to go back & look too see how much I paid for mine 4 yrs ago, wasn't close to $400 & it came with 2 dies.
Current bid $355.....
Makes a lot of sense when you can get a new one for less.
now $360.....this is fun!!!
good to know that my two Stars are appreciating in value...!!!!!

I like eBay in April or May after the elections and sandyhook, I sold one of my 650's for over $1800.
I would say you have to pick your battles.
The ones on Ebay are available TODAY, from Magma they're available with a lead time.
Yep, that is how I sold the 650 for that much. I am patient though and noticed the chance to upgrade to a 1050 without spending any money.
I guess if I sold my six Star sizers, I could just about buy a new truck, if my timing was right......... And that doesn't include the two dozen sizing dies and another two dozen top punches. It would be the first time I ever bought low and sold high! It's always been the other way around for me.....

What's the current wait time for a Star? In time for Christmas may be worth a buck or three.
A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that. - Shane

A call or email would answer that question.
I've been lusting after a Star sizer but there is no way I'm paying more for a used one of unknown condition than a new one would cost me. I stopped looking at the ebay star linked by the OP when the price went to $355. It may be spring time before I can afford one anyway.
I'd never have thought it would get up that high, and it's still got 1 day 3 hours to go!
Not sure where the gold is on that one, but has to be there somewhere

Having both a Magma and a Star I do not see why the Star would be worth any more money. Both of my machines work the same. No difference except for the color and lack of. Maybe I should sell off my Star and buy another MAgma and end up with cash in my pocket.
The lead time was a week or two when I inquired a few months back.
$375 with 6 hours left. Time to get set to snipe it if you wanna win!

Sold! For $380 + 15 shipping. Somebody did bump it up with 16 seconds left.
