I have three sets of DGJ that I intended to give my sons. Two are not interested at all and the other will likely dispose of them after a quick period of interest. This was a steal only if you have interest in them. Going to an auction tomorrow. Late fellow had almost a hundred guns, over 50 sets of reloading dies, tons of cases, empties, wads, half a ton of shot and about a grands worth of powder. To me it is kind of sad. Never got to enjoy too many of things he had to play with. Those reloading die sets will either be sold in lots of five or bring just about five bucks each. A in person auction might not be the best way to dispose of his stuff. Attendance might be good or not, depending on the weather. It is about 30 miles from any decent size town of city. His guns should draw some interest, but nothing listed seems likely to bring anything over a several hundred, to a few that might reach near a grand. No bidding wars will happen. And poor attendance might cost me a lot.
Cleaned out an estate reloading room a few month ago. Had over 25,000 old style once fired AA hulls. Most of his stuff was for trap and looked to be decades of finds. But he did have little powder or primers on hand. At least that fellow was down to his last two bags of shot. So I counted him as being able to enjoy most of what he accumulated. But we have so much stuff that we keep that never gets used and is of almost no value to others. I need to go through my reloading stuff and just thin things out, but I too suffer from the "I might need this still" curse.
