Got a line on a "new" dillon 650xl. Setup for two calipers. I don't know details yet as to all the accessories that are part of the setup yet. But my question is really how much are these worth as to sale price of the press? In other words, if the seller purchased for $1200,and base press is about half that, and press is really new, is the press worth $1200,$600 or something in between? From what I have read, dillon will most likely replace anything damaged so the value from that point of view should be higher than say lee that will replace for half the value. I most likely won't use one caliber, so I am overpaying if I buy entire setup, yeah I can sell extra but that's more work for me. What say you dillon owners ? Thanks John

Depending on case feeder, bullet feeder, ect . You can get the press, for around $550 new, conversion sets 75, dies 50ish. SO with just that I would have no problem me personally at 7-800. Case feeder is another 200ish if included. As you said Dillon are great with the lifetime warrenty. I have a 650 and 2 tackle boxes full of spare parts for the machine.

Dillon holds their value , usually people get back about 75%-80% of what a new one goes for , that is unless their in a hurry for $$

Thanks guys, I want to be fair to the seller, but didn't want to be taken advantage of.

I agree with the 80% figure.

At the height of the sandy hook run on gun stuff I did eBay my 45 acp 650. They guy that won it paid $1841 for it.
