mec press at pawn shop, $45 - good price?

1
This is all there is for it. The pawn shop is asking $45, but its been there a while. I could probably get it for $35 or so. Is it worth it?

I have a lee, but hate having to remove the powder after use. I dont know much about MEC. What do you think it needs for 12 gauge? And what prices to get it functional? Any guestimates?

never know with pawn shops, especially this one. They also have a Midway gun vise for $49, which Midway is actually selling for $39 new..

If that's not a 12ga press then it's never gonna be a 12ga press. I had a shitload of MEC accessories, some of which I sold to Inquisitor, the rest went bye bye at a yard sale. I could be talking out of my butt but, MEC presses are gauge specific.

Ok, im its a 12 gauge. What do you use now? Would i just need the bottles the? Im just looking for a guess here. Im probably going to get it after the 4th. Im sure i could at least recoupe $35 on ebay if i cant use it. I figure if i would only have to put $100 or so into it, its worth it. But im still new to shot shell reloading

Seen a boatload of used shot-shell reloaders at pawnshops and in the back-rooms of gun shops. Not particularly valuable gear unless you want one. I've seen them for $25 complete around here and still taking up shelf-space.
