they go for pretty close to new.
the last one I bought was about 250.0 airc, that was for just the basic press.
Yes, they go for about what a new Magma/Star machine costs. Once in awhile you'll run into a deal locally, but on-line, they go high. I've gotten them for as little as free, and as much as $275.00, depending on condition and what comes with them.
Hope this helps.

The last two I bought was $175.00 each from our S&S. You just never know.

$250 with no dies is a fair price. If you see one for $175 or 200 that works, snatch their arm off.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
I grabbed mine for 250 quickly it hadn't even had lube in it yet.
I had all the extra stuff [air/heater/feeder] on hand and grabbed it as soon as I seen it.
Just picked up my 3rd sizer with a cracked upper bracket for $250, but it came with 6 original dies and top punches and original star die removal tool. Good thing I have a friend who is an excellent tig welder.

I picked up an older Star in like new condition with a base heater and one set of dies for $340.
I chased a good deal until I got Fed up and ordered a new magma , and haven't looked back . I was competing against people paying as much and more for a Used star lube sizer (as is with no warranty) as buying a new magma so I went with a new magma . But I'm not a collector .
If anyone is Interested S&S firearms In Glendale NY has One STAR for Sale on there site for $185.00 . The also Have a Corbin swage press for $100.00

I found one yesterday at a local gun show for $140.00 with the punch and die for .358. My buddy bought it and was giggling like a little girl.

Think I paid $250 g/t for mine, bare bones, but in new shape.
