Need Some help to ID and Value a Dillon Press

[flowrie]

I have a friend who had a friend that passed way. He is helping his friend's wife value and sell some of his possessions.
One item is a Dillon press with dies for 17 cal and 45 cal.
Attached is a picture.
Can anyone ID the press and what it might be worth?
I have no idea regarding the condition or age.

Any recommended sell price?
Any info is helpful.
thanks in advance.

Looks to be a Dillon 550. Can't tell you exact model of 550 from pic. A new one from Dillon is about $620 and a lot would depend on what "other" stuff is there, additional tool heads for dies, dies, etc.

Not knowing what else is there, I will hazard a guess at $450 to $500 depending on extras and condition and that might be a little on the high side. Also, need to account for any reloading components such as primers, powder, bullets, brass.

Good luck

Thanks,
I found a 550C new on ebay for $580, but just for the press. So I think your estimate is about right, thanks again!

I see a Strong Mount, a Bullet Tray and a Roller Handle.
Each of those are "add-ons" which add some value, so look those up and add maybe 50% of each of those.
With all that stuff, I'd call $500-ish a "buy".
Ask him if any residual supplies (primers, bullets, brass, powder, reloading manuals, etc.) are hanging around...I think I see a box of bullets.
None of that stuff will be of any value to him, but for you? Just value added.
Good luck, and welcome to the world of reloading.
