Came across this today;

Dillon 550B with 2 caliber conversion kits - sporting goods - by owner - sale - craigslist

Dillon 550B with 9mm and 223 full caliber conversion kits. Low primer warning, stand, tool kit, and tons of spare parts. Well maintained, I just don't use it anywhere near as much as it should be.

THANKS for sharing this!

(I’m 7-hours / 450 miles way in WNC but, hopefully someone there can take advantage of it)!

(That looks like one heckuva bench, also!!!)

Shocked anyone uses Craigslist anymore

That's how I sold my 550. None of the cheap bastages here would buy it. I would get offers just about every day.

Are you interested in buying this? The price is okay. The kit comes with one "quick change kit". Additional kits are around $180 without dies. So basically, the buyer is getting a free quick change kit in the deal.

Where are you buying Dillon products? A conversion kit for the 550 from Dillon, brand new, is $75 and the press itself is $590. That's brand new.

Granted, there are some nice things there - it has the roller handle, two powder measures (I bought a second so that I don't have to change charge bars between pistol and 223)

I suppose it's an ok deal, but it isn't a steal.

Yeesh - that makes me think about all of the stuff I have associated with my 550 - I've got toolheads and conversion kits for 7-8 calibers, extra primer tubes, an Inline Fabrication Ultramount, the roller handle, some other accessories from Inline Fabrication, the stand mount tool set....

I have a bit of an itch to get a 750, but I can't bear to think about the cost associated with the conversion kits, tool heads, etc. I'll just use my 550 until the end of time!

A bit of a misnomer on my part. I meant quick change kit.

That price seems a little high for buying used. Mine has paid for itself many times over.

If he has a complete "Deluxe" kit, they go for $1200+. There really isn't much wear and tear on reloading presses. I sold my 550c Deluxe with three additional quick change kits for $900(my original asking price) on Craigslist in a little over a week, while it just sat here for almost a month in the classifieds without a single counter offer.

Anyone who thinks that price is “high” oughta call Dillon and see what the latest wait times are, for same package!

The “landscape” has changed ….

The last one I saw used went for $500.

RL550C

The RL550C is the most versatile reloading machine in the Dillon lineup. It will accommodate the widest variety of cartridges from .32 ACP up to .338 Lapua, .416 Rigby, and .460 Weatherby. The "C" designation indicates a significant design change. The lower link arm pivot pin has a zerk fitting...

You realize what you get for that price is not what is pictured. The one in the picture has about $600 worth of extras.

I don't think its the deluxe kit. Missing all the high dollar parts. (mount, scale, calipers, etc.)
Also appears to be the old 550B as it doesn't have zerk fittings.
Not a terrible deal but I've seen several 650s similarly equipped go for less.
Its craigslist. Low-ball them if you're interested.

I promise this is my last post here. I have zero affiliation with this seller. The mystery is, we don't know what "tons of spare parts" means. He mentions a stand, but doesn't show one.

As I said in my second post, the price is okay(not great). I agree with smdub, make an offer.
