Good points that will fall on deaf ears. Or blind eyes I guess.Are these items something that you are going to use...or have a use for...?
Do you think you can get these items cheap enough ...and then turn around and sell them for a profit...?
I ask because...
You post a lot about your buying habits , lack of storage...and more telling...
You have self admitted here on the forum that you have habit of buying and hoarding.
Ask yourself why are wanting these things...
Do you have something like it already...?
If you do ...do you use that item...?
If you do...Will these things do anything different or better than what you already have...?
If you don't have anything like this....
Do you have a need for it...?
Do you have room for it...?
Can it be turned into something you do need or have a use for..?
In any event....
In regards to estate sales....
Research before you go...The internet is full of information ...and if this "deal" goes away while you research...
there will be more "deals" later.
Plan your purchases....don't impulse buy....
Decide on what you want , need , will use...versus what is attracting you at that moment....
Look for specific things...
And as always...
Something is only a good deal if you have an actual use for it.

Nice knowing what we should expect to see at your estate sale.
If you're lucky you may find a t-mag 2 press, a rockchucker press, a lyman melting pot, factory ammo, powder, projectiles, lyman trimmer, a bunch of dies, and on and on, at my estate sale. It filled my trunk and part of the back seat.Nice knowing what we should expect to see at your estate sale.
There be primers!!!!
The primers made the deal worthwhile, everything else is gravy. And I just found an extra turret for t-mag 2 press.There be primers!!!!
Do you think he'll take .65 for the worms?A can of worms is $1 down at the bait shop. Pretty much the same thing.
That's a very fair and ethical way to do it. I've bought small reloading estates three or four times over the last 30 years. The first time, way back, I overpaid pretty badly. Another time I declined to make an offer because I couldn't afford a lot and figured what little I could pay was an insult; I found out later that they sold it to someone else for even less. Sometimes heirs have unrealistic expectations about value, and others just want to get rid of it all for a few bucks.After doing a fairly quick look though, I told them roughly what they would possibly get if they took the time to separate it all and market it, what is was worth as is and what it was worth to me.
I urge you to go shooting.....
