My find of the day
« on: March 01, 2008, 02:50:52 PM »
Just got back from a little road trip ( work related ) and stopped at a Bass Pro Shop , a Cabela's and 2 Dicks Sporting Goods stores along with 2 small shops looking for Collets & Pilots for a Forster case trimmer - No luck anywere  :'(  so i got on the EBay ( last hope ) , well guess what ?

Found a trimmer with 5 collets plus 14 pilots , 2 neck reamers and all the allen wrenches for less than what Forster or Cabela's wanted for just the trimmer . The whole reason for this quest was that i have a trimmer with out the C&Ps coming form a member off the Pay It Forward Forum , so now I'll be able to set up 2 trimmers and not have to keep switching all the time .  ;D

Been there, done that. Over half of my reloading equipment comes from E-Bay. ;)

Best part was the price , under $ 70 for all listed , Cabela's wanted $ 67 + shipping for a kit with trimmer , 3 collets and 5 pilots but had a 4 to 5 week backorder and Forster wanted $ 117 + shipping for the same kit .

Stimpy, just one thing about E-Bay.  You have to watch the shipping charges. Some of these fees are trumped up of what they should be. I've seen some stuff go off the auction more expensive than compatible new equipment.

Ya seen things go dirt cheap and then they add 50% more for shipping , i got lucky on this one as shipping was only $ 6.00 and the but it now price was only $ 62.99 .

Most of my dies were from e-bay along with a ton of other small goodies .
