gun press value

[simplicity]

I posted a long time ago about this gun press I have and am still looking for a value. It'sa twelve station, turret press from hollywood gunshop I can't find anything anywhere's about it's value and I'm really hoping someoen can help me out.

(IF) you can find someone looking for one ive seen them go for as much as 300 bucks.

Is it complete, and does everything work?  Are you looking to sell it?  If so, what do you want for it?

The only things I can find as far as value of the hollywood gunshop press's is a single stage goes for roughly 300, a three stage roughly 600 5-7 stage roughly 1000 but I really can't find anything on the 12 stage turrets. I've heard through rumors of 1800-2100 but I can't find anything to confirm it. I am interested in selling it but it isn't costing me anything to leave it sitting either.   I know in 1937 it sold for roughly $230.00 new, everything works flawlessly (I'm a machinist by trade and I believe old stuff was made better then what we have today they accually took their time)

I guess I'm just ignorant--but what is its purpose?  What is it used for?

One problem is the shellholders if wanting to use it for other calibers than what with the press.  I had the single stage back in the 60's and I think I may have some shellholders and I forget who was making after market ones for the Hollywood not sure there being make today.

P&W makes a 10 head turret press uses one shellholder

It really does not matter what someone tells you something is worth. It is only worth what someone is willing to give you for it is what I have always found. I you don't want to sale something then it is priceless to you. If you want a great big price for something that you want to sale but can't find someone to give you that price then it is worth nothing.

shot1 hence the trying to find out what the accual value, is hence this thread. As far it being priceless to me I accquire it in a large amount of reloading supplys I bought with a couple relatives of mine neither of them wanted the press. I ended up with it and it's sitting been sitting under my bench costing me nothing to have it sit there. I later find out it is kinda a rare collectors item that I'm not using so yes I'm trying to find out what it's value is case a rainy day comes or I find something I want to swap it for. I was hoping there might be a collector or such on this forum. Heck, I might even take it on the antique road show if I can't find out anything  lol J/k
