Anybody need a good laugh today?

I know we have all seen this so many times, but I couldn't help myself. It's really funny with the gouging and feeding frenzy going on over at Ecraze. Looks just like the one I took off the Midway page Lee 6-Cavity Bullet Mold 452-230-TC 45 ACP, 45 Auto Rim, 45 Colt (Long Colt) (452 Diameter) 230 Grain Truncated Cone. For the unfamiliar, it's 39.99, out of stock, but it'll be back up soon.

I just recently saw a 401-175-TC 2 Cavity on the same site, used and looks to be a beater and at the time was nearly 60 bucks and had a couple days to go.

I just bought the 6 Cavity Mold 358-125-RF on Midway when it came in and paid normal price, course I have the 2 Cavity and was just wanting to up production since I love this boolit so I could wait till someone had the 6 cavity in stock

Patience will pay in spades IMHO, things will settle a bit, I am hoping we are past the high water mark but looking at the prices folks are paying on certain auction site says otherwise

[onehousecat]

I have watched people pay more than twice the full retail price for 9mm dies. On another auction site, *black powder* pistols have risen 20 to 30% in the last few months! I've just decided to sit back and enjoy the show, until things calm down.

Hey, if I'm going to spend money on that kind of stuff, I'm taking the cash to NOE. But then, these poor fools probably don't even know NOE exists. What's the old saying? Oh, yeah. A fool and his money are soon parted. LOL

[runfiverun]

they should change the title to 6 cav LEE for 4 cav lyman price.

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

thats nuts, Maybe we should all sell our cheap unused molds and reap the profits,
I ordered a brand new NOE overrun this morning for not much more than that :0

[tg32-20]

I needed a new ladle because I dropped and cracked my very old one. I went to Ebay thinking I could pick one up cheap used. After I was out bid by $20 on a used one I went to Midway and just ordered a new one for $19.95. fortunately I needed and they had brass and other things I needed at the time so shipping was not to bad.

I just do not understand why people are willing to pay more than retail for something that is used.

because they dont know what the retail cost are

Human nature in full flower is an amazing thing at times.

As above, I'm going to sit on the sidelines and watch the game progress. Too many piranhas in this lake for me to go swimming.

[TES]

What I don't get about the NOE molds is the 9 mm is listed @ .355 the description says .358 and the plan shows .359....which is it? Or for a newb like me why are they so over sized? Is it so they can be re sized later?

[garym1a2]

Top this, $367 for a Smoked Lee two cavity bantor mold. It sold yesterday.

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

You need to be able to size .001-.002 over groove diameter.

Must be the smoke. Bet it takes a while to make a Lee Mold Tender.

[white eagle]

wow the seller didn't even know what manufacture made the mold
laugh but that there is plain old stupid

[DLCTEX]

I saw that Bator mould sell and thought I should cast up a few thou and then sell the mould and wait for the craze to end and buy a new one.

OMG! It just ended at $113.61! Can't top garym1a2's, but still, For Real? What is sad, I suppose, is that these people are walking around with us! No wonder why the 2012 election went the way it did. I know, it's a conspiracy--Feinstein and Bloomberg are having their cohorts buy up all the reloading stuff so we won't have any.:roll: LOL

[garym1a2]

My ad for a new in box 6 cavity Lee Bator mold goes active tommorrow night. If anyone needs this mold go on ebay and bid often.

WHO IS BUYING ALL THESE MOLDS ???
I'm starting to seriously consider that the recent conspiracies of the Gov pushing these prices up is true !?!

[gbrown]

JonB--you give the government much too much credit. These are idiots who are watching YouTube and saying, "Casting bullets is easy. It's a cinch, I can do that." They ain't got a clue. You know how many burnt fingers are going to be out there? Maybe some visits from the Tinsel fairy? They'll be casting zinc and wondering why they can't get some of the wheel weights (Fe) to melt. It gives me a good laugh just thinking about it. I'm thinking about 6 mos to a year, there will be some cheap molds to be had. LOL

These molds were Cheap just 4 months ago, for a new one !!! And after some hamfisted newbie uses it, a lee mold will just be worth scrap weight. And I should know, I've been there and done that lol :)

I got outbid on flea bay on a used Lyman 450 lubrisizer. I went to a local gun show the next day and got a dusty, unused, 450 for $40.00. Got some real nice ammo cans too!

[myg30]

Is it possible that the bidders are over seas and this is the only way they can get them ? Im far from up to date on shipping anything out of the country. Just a thought.

[clownbear69]

yet is funny that some people have complained on the swapping and selling is high priced on here....

If I still had a link for it I'd show you. Sold a Lyman 358477 2-cav with one cav HP'd about a year and a half ago on evilbay. Final bid was $490.

[nanuk]

yup... a lot of foreign bidders

I sold a bunch of old SC Lyman moulds a few years ago, and only a couple went south, all the rest went east.


recently I bought a bunch of Lee stock for the sole purpose of taking advantage of Ebay Crazys
