    Non-Dillon 550 Tool Heads

    Anyone have any experience (good/bad) with the various non-Dillon 550 tool heads sold on eBay ?

    Thx.

    It's OK to have a Uniquetek link? But not OK to have an Ebay link? Was EddyZoom Selling something? Or was he asking about something he saw on Ebay?

    Not selling anything...I promise.

    Trying to figure out if I need to pay full price for a 550 toolhead or can I get away with 3rd party alternates. Included the link to clarify what I was talking about.

    Sorry for stepping on the rules...again

    If you violated the rules, then so did Nueces. I would go for the ebay tool heads. The seller has a good rating and Ebay will back up their 100% satisfaction guarantee as stated on the listing. I've used it myself.

    Nueces did not break any rule by posting his link but EBAY links are not allow you can refer to the header in the swapping and selling section where it is listed. Hope this clears things up.
    Reloading to save money I am sure the saving is going to start soon

    No that does not clear it up. He wasn't posting an ebay link to sell anything. He was posting to ask about the product somebody else is selling. And this is not the swapping and selling section. I just read the sticky containing the S&S Rules. Nowhere does it expressly forbid ebay links. The only thing that would pertain to what your claiming is no cross posting. Since the OP is not the vendor in the ebay listing and the OP is not trying to sell anything, then the link should be allowed. Otherwise you can not discriminate and must delete Nueces link also because it is a seller not on Cast Boolits and could be considered as cross posted.
