Value of Dillon 550, not the C version.

[Bigeclipse]

I have found a used Dillon 550 locally. It is definitely not a 550c. It just says 550 on the frame of the unit. It appears to be in good functional condition. Comes with everything but the powder dies from what I can tell. What is it worth? Thanks!

Dillon's generally hold their value well. If it looks like it's in good shape try offering 75% of what a new one costs and go from there.

Doesn't know what he's talking about^

The market on 550s and 650s took a huge hit with the intro of the 750. A 550 in the condition you described is going for about $250 shipped max, face to face maybe $200.

1050s are know to hold almost all of their value and 650s used to.

I just purchased a 750 and love it but I saw a local add from a person selling a 550. She wants 150$ for the press. It has all the parts for the press itself. No warning sensors. It comes with a die holder but no dies. It has the powder measure but no conversion kit. I don't even really need it to be honest but seemed like a good price.

I'd buy another 550 in a heartbeat if I found one at that price, so I could have one set up for LP and the other for SP. Wish I could find a deal like that around here!

I'd love to find a Dillon 550 for $150. I'd buy it w/o hesitation.

Bought a second 550 with 4 complete tooolheads just before the 750 came out. Paid what a bare press cost.
Its now setup for large primers

what's a square deal worth?

Great price, I will take and pay shipping and a 25.00 finders fee!

Insane deal. Do it fast

If you are loading Pistol caliber's Dillon now makes a case feeder for the 550. Not sure if it fits all versions, but worth looking into.

Another 550 for $150.00? Definately since a tool head for my 1050 is over $200.00

$150 is a steal. I still like the 550.
