Criminy. Who would pay $100 for a mold available from retailers for $45? Easy - someone who:1 - Needed it BAD! 2. didn't know about the $45 availability; 3. A confererate who bid it too high and got caught; 4. whatever.

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
I go there and look and realize there out of there minds!! I needed a couple of parts for reloaders I have and a Lubsizer. I ordered the parts from MEC and Lyman delivered to my door brand new for less then used on Ebay! There are shortages out there but if your on a tight budget like me or you don't want to feed into the frenzy. I've found that using the notifications on most sites work very good. Did this at Midway, FS reloading and Brownells. Need a few more this and that's but I refuse to pay double or triple the standard prices (can't do it anyway!).
45 ACP because shooting more than once is just silly!!
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
There's still decent deals out there. You just have to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I just picked up a 180g steel .40 cal mold for $40. It's a custom build, so well see if the quality is there but if it makes a halfway decent boolit, $40 ain't bad at all in is market.
Amazon gets a pretty pe.ny on some of their molds too.

I'm kicking myself for noy buying a 170-180 gr rn 30 caliber mold earlier. 6 months ago I probably could have got a used 2 cavity for $40-$45.... Now they are going for $85-$100..................
Fortunately I am able to borrow a Mec for 410........... I load a couple thousand at a time in exchange for a couple hundred for the press owner...................
Ebay basically let me trade two Lee molds I didn't use anymore for my first Mihec mold. Ask me how bummed I am about that deal
Heck, I have one(1) Lee mold on there that looks like it is going to pay for two (2) Mihec molds!! Insane, but I am not complaining!
2 weeks ago a Lee 6 cav Bator sold for over $200.00. Last week another one went for $192.00.
Patience is truly GOLDEN. Mid south will have them back shortly for $38.00.
Can you be patient and save $160.00?
Even at todays prices the savings will buy 4K of primers or ? # of lead to cast ? thousand boolits when your new mould arrives.
WE WON. WE BEAT THE MACHINE. WE HAVE CCW NOW.
Dang! I have a single-cavity Lee .30 cal 200 gr. that I haven't used in years. Maybe I need to see what it's "worth"...and to keep up with the other sellers in their description of single and double cavity Lees "comes with free handles!"

I suppose that my feeling is that I don't care what people pay for moulds on EBay. It isn't my money so why would I care?
Fools who pay too much aren't just on EBay and aren't just buying moulds. Idiocy abounds, I just ignore it.
You used to find some good deals on there until "The Panic"
I had offered to sell the handles to the winner for $15 and since the sell price for the mold was good, I just gave the handles in the box with the mold. With the money from the mold i brought some handles from Milhec here and a few other items plus the Colt ar bolt that was for sell here.
So everybody got something.
This is getting retarded! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lee-Rifle-Ba...-/281078609634
If you have one of these sitting around I think it is time to let it go.
As I've said before, it an auction, he who wants it most spends the most money, the guy in second place is nothing more than the first looser.

Alright, who's yanking my chain Someone on here bidding it up? Looks like I will be including some Lee handles as well.
I was robbed. Mine only went for $192 and was new. Yours is used and much higher price.
