I have always been on the lookout for a reasonably priced Star sizer, but they are tough to find used even at an unreasonble price.

Rainy day today, so I made a trip to an LGS I had not been to in a while. Turns out they had a large lot of consignment stuff from an old caster. Most of it was priced pretty hefty, such as common 4 cav Lyman molds for $130 with handles, or a Saeco sizer w/o dies for $250.

Stuck way down there was a very nice condition Star with heater, set up for 45 acp - $120.00.

My wallet is still smoking from pulling it out so fast. Now I just need a .358 die for it, and I will be selling one of my other brand sizers.

I did the same, but in reverse.
I sold off all my extra lubers and used the cash to get a Star. Glad i did as I see the price on them rose since I got it.
I kept a RCBS LAM for odd jobs.
