I`ve bought a plie of used dies. In all conditions from new to junk, but the junk ones were usually for parts and so cheap I just couldn`t let them go. I`ve even bought them by the box just to get 1 set of dies. There are some cals. that I have 3 or 4 sets of dies for, most I have at least 2 sets for, a FL and a neck size set. I`ve got burned on acouple of sets, but I`ve save so much money I`m way ahead in the long run.
