I'm not going to boast and say , that I beat up an attorney and bought a Dillon from him for about 50% of what it sold for new, not long ago. I should be ashamed...Yes, Dillon retains a very large % of their original price. My experience is that usually the retention is in the 75-80% range; however, 90% or more does appear now and then.
My complaint is that Dillon has gotten a little too full of itself with the prices of their current equipment and accessories.
It is what it is.
You did what? Sacre bleau!I'm not going to boast and say , that I beat up an attorney and bought a Dillon from him for about 50% of what it sold for new, not long ago. I should be ashamed...
And I got him to stand in the cold for over an hour!!!!!!You did what? Sacre bleau!
Not going to defend Dillon, even though I have a Square Deal. I'm a die hard Hornady Progressive LNL fan. LOL!! Dillon raises their prices 10-20% percent every January. I agree they are a little too full of itself, but the prices might have something to do with their guaranteed for life, free parts and replacements. Many, MANY people have bought used, rusty, broken Dillon presses and sent them in for rehab, generally for shipping only. I did it myself when I bought the Square Deal. So, I suspect that's where some of the cost is added. Of course, maybe Dillon management is taking note of how powder and primer companies are sticking it to the consumer as well.Yes, Dillon retains a very large % of their original price.

Dillon has always been expensive, but Mike put 4,5 and 8 station machines in the regular reloading room at affordable prices for what you get.Not going to defend Dillon, even though I have a Square Deal.
