    I’ve got an older reloader that cast 40+ years ago and said I could have all his stuff (if) I wanted it, just had to scrounge around his old shed to find it all. Found old Lyman 10# pot with home made cord,50# lead ingots, .314 Lyman think it’s for British 303. Lyman 450 lubrisizer, and coffee cans full of old oxidized cast boolits. Just because I fixed his furnace. Yes cant beat good old friends.

    Those gas checks by themselves are worth almost that by themselves anymore.

    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    Knowing your tools are going to a good home instead of the “dump” is always worth making a “good deal” to a friend or acquaintance!

    Lot of times I have sold/traded molds worth more than I got, knowing they were going to a "good" home. Always try to sell here before thinking about Fleabay. People here appreciate them, a lot over there don't have a clue.

    I too have a friend downsizing due to eye sight. Swapped 1000 Remington LR primers for:
    * 2700 Remington 2 1/2 LP primers
    * 1000 Winchester SR
    * 700 CCI 300 LP
    * 700 Winchester SR
    I had equal numbers of LR, but he only wanted the 1000
    And he threw in three 100 round ammo boxes for 45-70 rounds
    Regards
    John
