ebay is still hooking the guys in on Star lubers
Man, I couldn't believe that someone would spend over $188.00 on final bid for an older Star Lube-sizer with one die. It didn't even have the crank handle to push the lube down in the reservor, but had a hex bolt for ratchet wrench.
He could have got a brand new one from Magma Engineering for $195.00, but they would have nailed him on shipping and handling charges.
I guess the older models are the best after all.

People forget or don't realise that geography and local buying conditions greatly influence auction prices on Ebay. Many folks have few purchasing opportunites locally and will gladly pay more to secure an item they simply can't get in their corner of the world . Also, most ebay sellers in the US refuse to ship even non-regulated reloading/casting/shooting items over the border. This is of course their perogative but US vendors who are more flexible will often get more for the same item. The convenience factor of shopping on ebay is huge If you live in an urban environment, such as I do, paying a premium for certain items on ebay is well worth it. Often the investment of time and energy combined with the price of gas, and parking makes shopping on ebay more attractive.
