Whattya Think? Fair Deal?

[Steverino]

Good morning folks,

I believe that this may be my first post ever in the Reloading Forum here at HC (hopefully not the last)

Years ago, a former co-worker of mine that shot and reloaded, introduced me to firearms and shooting. He graciously took me to his club where we shot practical pistol and IPSC style matches. Once a week, we would go down in his basement and load up the weeks practice and match cartridges on his Dillion progressive press. He ended up passing away and the shooting club closed due to increased insurance liability and anti -2nd Amendment poliicies in the local community. Other than the twice a year plinking forays mixed in with some trap & clays, my shooting has been non-existent the past several years. I am hoping at some point in the not too distant future, to get back into more routine shooting.

My wife's boss knows that I shoot and hunt and mentioned to her that his father was getting out of reloading himself and had some reloading supplies and would I be interested? I admittedly know just enough to be dangerous with respect to the reloading equipment but considering the rising cost of metals and the like, it looked like a very fair price to me. Please take a look and tell me what you think. He is asking $250 for the MEC Package and $300 for the RCBS package. This gentleman was apparently career Army and judging by his conversation and lists, rather meticulous. Please take a cursory look and let me know what you think. My opinion is that it appears to be a very fair price for both of the packages. Thanks in advance!
