I got a .38 progressive with new dies for $300 off ebay.   The sizers have doubled in price the last year and a half.  I remember the time, I thought a guy was nuts for wanting $75 for one.  I wish I could go back in time. 

NYKenn:

Ken, seen it commented here that final assembly & adjustment of the machines were accomplished by the same person all those yrs at Star & that after he left things fell apart. Would seem from that not just any head could be mounted  and run. George mentioned above getting a "cruddy" machine for much less & after cleaning was fine. It seems that for the seller quality pictures & appearance are all important, but, $515 is pretty high.

I have to admit that $515 for a machine with no head, dies or shell plate seemed high at the time, but in retrospect, not really out of line with some of the recent prices for complete machines.  It did have a case feeder.   For another $400 - $500 the buyer could easily obtain the parts to covert it to a complete machine.
