Did A Little Picking

[Jester896]

A friend asked me to go and look at some items a family friend had that had passed
here are a few things I picked up

one of these with a collet puller

a little bit of powder

there are 3 more of those Expansion Industries 8# jugs behind that one and to the left a pile of 1X LC .308 Match brass

even got a few bullets

Wow! Jackpot!
I went to an estate auction probably a dozen years ago and bought big boxes of ammo, a couple of guns and other things dirt cheap.
About halfway thru the auction the heir ended it because things were going too cheap.
That’s the chance you take when having an auction.
I had driven 30 miles at night to attend so I wasn’t real happy with that decision. I did buy enough to make it worthwhile though.

Congratulations. Looks like some great stuff.

It wasn't really an auction. My friend and I purchased the majority of the usable items from the family at a fair price.
The family knew nothing of the value and was one of the reasons we were recommended to the family by my friend.
As an example I gave $10 ea for the 10 new 50Cal cans that were there...didn't pay top dollar and didn't steal them.
We drove 2 hrs each way.

I understand, I’m just old and have a story for everything.
When I go, my family will probably hafta do the same thing.

Nice buy, It's always good to have a network of friends. I guess your either too humble to show the pile of primers that must have been there also. "LOL" .

I hope my statements weren't perceived the wrong way. All I meant was I have seen your descriptions before.
An auction would be different

funny...the guy that called me said he picked up the 4 sleeves (4000)...2 SRP and 2 SPP that he saw and I found a zip lock with about 300 unidentifiable small primers.
I picked up a set of Redding .40/10mm dies and didn't really want/need them.
They asked me to put all of the Dillon items that would have come with or go to the new out of the box 650 w/ case feeder. Other than that there weren't 5 sets of dies either.
