Shot shell reloading (12 gauge)

As an indicator of the economy of reloading 12g unless you are tailering specific loads. It is difficult to sell 12 gauge reloaders. About 5 years ago I sold a MEC 600g with wads 50lbs of lead shot aa hulls, tool for filling boxes, two charge bars. The press alone sells for around $700 I got $350. Two years ogo at the Kamloops gun show a MEC 600 single stage and a MEC 600g, wads, about 4 lbs of powder $250. This was at the end of the show with no interest shown during two days. I guess what I'm trying to say is try to buy used.

Don't know who your buying your mec presses from but they aren't 700...

You should do some research before you speak. Amazon,com $635> I couldn't find any sales in Canada

A MEC 600 Jr lists at $229.99 at WSS, not $700. as you state above.
$700. puts you into the MEC 9000g progressive.
I think you did very well selling your old 600 and a few extras for $350.
