Has anyone been watching the prices for the shotshell reloaders on ebay? I'm talking about the old Lee Loader kits that used to sell for about $10. They don't make them anymore, and the prices on ebay for those old kits are surprisingly high.
I wonder if it is mainly collectors who are driving up the prices, but on the other hand, there couldn't be THAT many collectors out there.

I bought one for 12 ga and another for 20 ga some times back and paid $15 each but last I looked they are going for about $25 now.

Re: Lee Loader shotshell loaders on ebay
I have been watching the 410 Kits for years. I sold an older Winchester pump because I didn't want to buy a MEC and couldn't get a reasonably priced Loader. 410 Loaders are selling for more than a 410 MEC. That is crazy.massmanute wrote:Has anyone been watching the prices for the shotshell reloaders on ebay?
I spoke with Mr. Lee once about a Load-All for the 410 and he said they tried to make one but it had a number of issues.

Probably wouldn't hurt me to find one for 16 gauge as most of the shotguns around here are 16s.

Re: Lee Loader shotshell loaders on ebay
Most of the ones that have sold recently on ebay have been roughly in the $50 range for a 12 gauge Lee Loader. One sold for $132.76 (shipping extra). The title of that listing said "Vintage Original Lee Loader for 12 gauge Shotgun 2 3/4 inch shells Excellent". A few others sold for over $100. The least expensive one that was seemingly undamaged and almost complete (no instruction sheet) went for $35.56 (shipping extra).
