how come some think used is more value than new??
was browsing the local want adds and saw a guy selling a lee 4 hole turret press with auto index. I call.. he wants 200$ for it.
looking at midway.. it's a 112$ kit  what gives? why do people try to sell their stuff for near 2x the cost of new? |

Good question. HEs most likely trying to recover his inital cost and not thinking about the brass, bullets, powder and primers hes already consumed.

Unless it also includes a bunch of dies and other reloading goodies for that price too. It might still be a bargain depending on what's all included.
Otherwise...it's caveat emptor. |

all included for 200 aint real bad. But it sounds like hes wanting to nickel and dime.
