What I actually have today is a far cry from the total spent over the yrs, I sell what I don't want, usually at quite the loss. In Retrospect, I wish I had kept all the dies I had purchased over the yrs minus the plain jane RCBS sets I started with, I seem to end up rebuying at times.
A quick scan puts me around 8K. 36 yrs of reloading.
I can see where newer reloaders, 10 yrs in or less will probably have considerably more on the table given todays push for uber high dollar equipment. I may NEED a V4, but I don't need an 1100 press, at the moment.
I used an RCBS electric trimmer for over 20 yrs, I whined, I cussed, I took breaks every time I used it. I still laugh at the 3 way cutters I always bought for it, set up correctly, the main cutter could never come in contact with the brass. I'd have to think real hard, but I am sure that thing went straight into the dumpster, no way was I putting anyone else through that crap.
