So after loading on a 550 for getting pretty close to 30 years Ive decided to upgrade to a 650 So thought I would

put out a feeler before ordering a new one and see what anyone may have available. prefer with case feeder

I've got one like you're looking for, but I don't like the idea of shipping it without you looking at it first. I have several conversion kits; both lg. and sm. complete primer systems; all the plates for the case feeder (except lg rifle); extra pwd measure (never used); Dillon extra parts kit and a few after market upgrades. I have close to $2000 in the system and would like $1500 + shipping.

Your best bet would probably be to simply purchase a new one. Most used ones have a bunch of add ons and you cannot blame the owners that are trying to sell them trying to get the most or recoup their investment. There is no such thing as a near new 650 for say 50% of the original purchase price.
Just buy new in the caliber you are wanting. My .02

If you want to save yourself some money you can easily make your own collator.

you cant just have a Dillon press
Gotta have LED Light, Mount, roller handle,bullet feeder, case feeder, and on and on
And then buy a good drum style powder measure
Once you have one the goodies are sure to follow
Dont think you are going to keep a budget

I don't have the roller handle and I'm satisfied with mine. A good drum style powder measure? What the heck for? Dillon's powder system works great and is within .1 of a grain so why muck it up with something else?

I also don't have the light and see no reason to have one since I have perfectly good lighting above the press.

i agree w hairtrigger, ive got a 650 w pretty much everything but the skylight a square deal to back it up and another square deal coming next week dillon is almost as big of an addiction as casting or reloading itself.

Again, YOUR best bet is contacting Dillon and get fitted with the gear you want/need.

Keep looking for a bit. I traded for one three years ago. Owner had never loaded a Single round on it. Traded a decent ak, but I made out like a bandit.

Last December I took the plunge and got an XL650, case collator, strong mount, roller handle, 9mm carbide dies, extra primer tubes and a Swage-It primer pocket swager. In one month I loaded 10,000 9mm. I then got the conversion for 380 and loaded 11,000. The priming is reliable. That is the thing about Lee I don't like. Primers going in sideways and such. If you have at least a C&R FFL, there are reloading supply sources that will give you FFL discount. The only thing I regret is not getting one sooner.

Yeah, I don't even use mine anymore. I load at a much more "relaxed" rate and mostly for target/benchrest, so most of my time is spent with my Redding T-7 (two of them). Or, my two RCBS RockChucker presses. Most of my Benchrest loads are hand done with a Wilson seater. Things change once you retire, at least they did for me.

I am in no hurry, as stated above I have a decked out 550 and really don't need a 650 I only shoot about 15000-20000 rounds a

year so I can easily keep up with the 550.
