I like the older reloading equipment as well as the next person. After all, it has a somewhat limited collector value, so it's fun to pick up the occasional unwanted press and rebuild it for display or use. But............

Wow. Either I'm completely out of touch with the rarity of Schmitt equipment, or someone's dreaming!

The seller is delusional. Those have sold on Ebay recently for far less.

That one has been there for a long time. The seller had a Herter's listed at $125 fore nearly a year. Its gone now, don't think anyone bought it either.
My watch list is full of items like this one, very high opening bid and all on a 30 day auction listing. They just keep relisting as the auction expires.
Kevin's description of the seller is correct.

Yeah, your right Pressman, he has had it listed for quite some time. I fiqure he's trying to hook some newbie collector with deep pockets.

Shipping is steep at $200
