2011 Values and Prices
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:07:09 pm »
I plan on continuing same for 2011 as in the past from listings on Ebay, Auction Arms, Gunbroker, other sources, etc.
I apologize in advance in that I may miss a few.

Note that the information is subjective. It is based on my impression from listing description and photos that may be provided.
I received one critical e-mail from a seller who reads this forum, stating that I did not represent his machine accurately, and should refrain from making comments about something I did not have opportunity to see in person.
I politely replied that what is written is subjective, and is only my opinion. I also noted the comments are listed well after the auctions close, so the results are not impacted by what I may write. I also avoid lilting seller names so as not to offend anyone.

If anyone has any comments or thoughts on what I should do to make this information more useful, please let me know. I may or may not do it, but will take any suggestions and consider them.

Happy New Year!

Kudos to NYKenn and keep up the great work....
I wish we could make the topic a STICKY and pin it to the top or perhaps make a sub forum for it.
Thanks Ken,

I am one of your newest members and don't quite know how to ask questions here. I have five complete Stars (one 38 only) and tool heads and shell plates for 30 Carbine, 380, 9mm,357mag,38spl,38 Super, 41 Mag,, 44 spl/Mag, 45 ACP/Auto Rim and 45 Colt. All are in excellent condition and used frequently (Love shooting).  As I'm 83 yrs young I know these may be for sale in the coming years. I would like to purchase an adjustable powder bar if someone is making them. I have two Star lubrisizers and a lot of dies but might like too buy another die - where??   who?? I'd be happy to talk to anyone about Star use - I've done everything wrong at least once. (Have a hole above one machine  telling me NOT to force the primer feed when it jams). Thanks for listening     DDStraitwell  [no e-mail]@.com

Sounds like you have a nice collection of Star equipment.   If you are looking to buy or sell something, its best if you post your request in the Stars Want to Buy/Want to Sell Section.

Rich Daniels (barreltester) on this forum makes adjustable powder slides.  You can send him a Private Message via the forum.   Magma Engineering still makes the Star Lubesizer as well as new sizing dies.  You can buy directly from them.   If you are looking for a particular sizing die, you can post you request in the Want to Buy/Want to Sell area and maybe another member will have what you are looking for.

I hope you have many years of Star usage ahead of you.
