Didn't know they existed. Probably available to repair centers only(I am guessing). james

Have never seen them before, repair center sounds right. Sure would love to own them, nice assortment. You are a lucky man, if you use RCBS dies.

They were available to anyone in the mid 1980's.

I’ve seen similar sets from Lyman (in an orange box, of course) as well as these RCBS green ones. It would be handy to be able to reach into one and get a needed part for a special app or to replace one that broke, but the cost of maintaining such a set would probably be beyond the need or ability of any but the most rabid reloader. In a well equipped gun shop though, it would be an excellent resource. The one Lyman box I got many years ago had been severely picked through and not replenished, so it was really more a curiosity than a useful resource. It looked way cool, though! 8-)

Ok, now I can't get myself to use any of the parts out of the kits.
Is there a RCBS collectors website?
Where should I list them?
Then how do I figure a value?

There is no RCBS dedicated site that I know of. I would like to add them to the collection, but the IRS has priority for the next three months, ie: no new toys.

With today's firearms climate I would list one on eBay, set a $100.0 reserve and see what happens. If it sells at a decent price wait a couple of weeks and list the second, same for the third.

I have a set of your 2nd and third picture for die repair parts. I also have set for press repair. Mine were from Ebay.

If you decide to sell them list them here in the swap n sell section. There are many folks on this site that would love to have them.

I've got 2 of the 3 that the OP posted albeit mine is surely missing a few of its original parts. Bought them from a pawn shop along with some brass I recently sold here along with a few other items.

Sorry for the sideway pic, too lazy to change it.

Even MEC apparently had these kits. The last pic is in a Plano box, guess the original one is long gone. Same source as the above post.
