In the last week, there have been 2 Star lubersizers on EBay, BOTH have sold for more (in one case way more) then current retail!!! Neither of them were cherry had extra goodies or even particularly clean.
Are the buyers that lazy, or, what-the-heck??
I'm just a dumb 'ole boy. I don't know a whole lot about business or such. I pay a guy to do my taxes.
But I DO KNOW THIS: you don't pay retail + for a used, rusted item when you can have a NIB Unit shipped from the maker!
I put fair bids on both those 2 units. I let the suckers buy them. I called Magna this morning. A NIB Star (+ shovel handle and heater) will be shipped to me on Monday.
I sent a message to Lathesmith listing all the dies, punches & setscrew-type nuts I need.
I guess my RCBS lubersizer w/ Lyman heater (+ a flock of sizing chambers and top punches) will go on the classifieds here once the Star is up & running.
