SAS press
I've been watching an SAS press on EBAY with the intension of bidding and winning as I have many dies for this press. The ad was pulled stating the item is no longer available. Is this common practice on EBAY? I'm really dissappointed. There were many bids placed for this item, so I guess I'll not be the only person upset by this. I do have some questions on the SAS Press. I have a couple of spring loaded ejection assemblies which came with the dies. Were they used on the Mity Mite press? If anyone has an extra SAS press, I sure would be interested. Thanks, Danth

Hard to say what it is now but it used to be it was almost impossible to pull a auction once it had been bit on and then you had to contact every bidder and explain why you pulled it.
It does sound kind of funky but then again ebay is kind of funky anymore.
-
Some of them have a "Buy it Now" button. I thought if someone did that the aution was over.
-
I don't think you can "buy it now" once a bid has been placed.

Danth,
Are your dies the threaded type? I have an early sas press that does not use threaded dies. All I have is a lswc die in .429. I would like to find another set.
Also it is highly likely that your sas dies have the 5/8x24 thread that corbin mighty mite, silver, or the csp1 uses.
-
You can have a buy it now as long as the reserve has not been met. That I do not think was the case with this item. I looked at it a couple of times but never did see the buy now.

You are talking about something like this?

SAS Press
Yup, that's the same press that was offered on EBAY. The seller has contacted me and claims his description was not accurate, so he pulled it and has relisted. I can't find it anywhere. The bidding was $163 when pulled. In his explanation for pulling, he mentioned it was cast aluminum: Are SAS presses aluminum?
-
No aluminum, magnet stuck all over the press
Let me know if your attemps on EBAY fail
I might sell my press, perhaps, maybe, possibly, huh??

This was the old auction

I buy and sell on Ebay a lot; they can have an auction with a 'Buy It Now' price and basically it can get bid as high as you want OR someone can 'Buy it Now'. If it gets sold through 'Buy It Now' it will immediately be closed, not just removed.
If he took it down because of the description, likely someone complained. Doesn't happen often but you see it sometimes with estate sales or other auctions where the Seller doesn't really know that much about what they've got and take a guess.
Sorry about your luck.

Dr. Blackmon`s dies are 5/8x24 thread and the sas dies will work
inthe blackmon bssp . The press was 150.00$
when i got mine.

The Mity-Mite I have does not use any spring loading in its operation. The return lever stroke activates the ejector pin and pushes the slug out of the die.

I just ordered a Blackmon BSSP yesterday, the price is now $165, but that still feels like a bargain for compared to what's out there.

The description of the SAS press on ebay still says it's cast Aluminum. If that was the error, it's still there. I'll watch it just to see what it goes for.

I too, saw this press and put a bid on it. Something fishy is going on as this is the second time it was "sold" and relisted...

It is an ugly critter as presses go in my opinion!

I won a nice old Herters press for $45 shipped on ebay , works awesome for swaging with BT snipers dies.

I have a Corbin Mity Mite "Gold" press similar to the SAS press, but my press is threaded 7/8 x 14 and ordinary reloading dies screw into it but the ram doesn't accept shell holders.
Where the latter Corbin presses threaded 7/8 x 14?........Kiwi
