Wife's been going through her father's estate and he had several reloading presses. She's working on the estate sale and wondering what kind of value these have. Would appreciate help with the values and also whether they're worth selling privately or in the estate sale. Thanks.

honestly, find someone, add in paper or Facebook, sporting goods store, anywhere and just give it all to them....it's really not worth much in the overall scheme of things..he'd be proud of you knowing someone will enjoy it as much as he did...

I told the wife I didn't think there was that much there. I already have a Rock Chucker and a Partner press on in my bench that I use so there's no need for me to keep it for myself. Although I did keep one of the 10-10 scales for my own use.

I know several guys I work with, friends, and some family that should reload. They dont want to invest, or learn more stuff etc..would be a good gift for someone to start that you know.

I have one daughter that hunts, I asked her if she was interested in any is it and was very basically told that's what I was for. Lol. She helps me when we reload her stuff and understand the process but doesn't want to make the deep dive.

I probably didn't need the 10-10 scale that I kept but FIL taught me the basics of reloading when I met my wife almost 40 years ago that sent me down the path I'm currently on. That scale has had a prominent place on his bench for most of that time. Is more of a sentimental thing.
 
Hey,
I am sorry for your guys loss. It is awesome that the man taught you to reload the way he did and so forth. Very cool. I wish someone would of taught me or helped me when I started but I did it with me, myself and I and YouTube and a few books, etc and that was close to 10 years ago now. Has definitely become a hobby for me big time. I do something almost every day - I "work" from home :)
 
@Smoke NW,
My daughter tells me that exact same thing!! Lol
After not hearing from her for a couple of weeks, she calls and says she wants to take her pistol to the range, and can I load up 100 rounds for her? 🙄

As for the OP,
My condolences!
You might want to consider a yard or garage sale. Advertise it in the local paper that there will be reloading supplies/tools.

I've slammed on the brakes and whipped a u turn on more than one occasion when driving by a yard sale and seeing a press.
