Info on box O stuff I just acquired please

[BD457]

I picked up a bunch of loading stuff the other day and I never pursued casting and actually don't have much desire nor room to do so. ( I know... I know....... ). What I'm wondering is what's this stuff worth? I saw molds going for Around $50 each and $10-20 for handles. What I couldn't wrap my brain around was the prices on Star Machine lube dies with top punches. I saw some go for $40-75 and others go from $150-almost $600. The ones I have are all Star Machine and two are still in sealed factory boxes. What would be the best way to find out the true value and get a fair to both parties price? I have more than what's in theses tires. I was only allows to upload 10 pictures.

thanks

Nice haul! Be careful with that steel wool in your truck bed, DO NOT USE IT INSIDE THE MOLDS,
It will ruin them.
Star dies w/ punches will probably fetch around 55-60.00 each

Once more, with feeling, NO STEEL WOOL/STEEL WIRE BRUSHES/(Heaven forbid) WIRE WHEELS INSIDE THE BLOCKS or they are TOAST.

RUST would seem to be your next point of order,,,,,,,

Never ever ever would I use steel wool inside ANY die. I used it (0000 by the way) only to remove the flash rust so the numbers were more easily photographed. The inside of all the dies look nice. Why do some of the Star Machine dies fetch so much and others don't?

Nostalgia mostly, lathesmith makes them better and cheaper in my opinion.
