the Lyman Tru-line

I had a Lyman True-line jr. left to me as a part of an estate. Its an old one complete with multiple accessories. I am not a reloader, so I am trying to find it a new home. Does anyone have an idea of the price range I should seek for it?

I have seen two, maybe more on the huge national Internet auction. They were a nice compact little press. I loaded with one I bought used. I loaded for .45 ACP, .44 Auto Rim and .44 Special and it made very satisfactory ammo. You didn't mention if you have (and what caliber) dies for it. The dies on the auction bring quite a bit. I loaded with it till my son bought a Lyman single stage press for me as a gift. I would say that if you have some dies with it it would bring in the vicinity of 50+ dollars, maybe more.

It looks like it has for die sets. 30/06, 38 special, .303 British for an old Enfield, and 45 with magnum seat.

There's one on sale on e-pay or was yesterday, was over $50 then. You might see what it brings.
