Check Ebay for current prices, or go to die manufacturers websites and check the prices.

There is really no set formula for figuring out what they are worth, because they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.

I purchased 6 sets of RCBS dies including the 7.7 and 6.5 Japanese, all group G dies 4 of the sets included a form trim die, the group G die sets from RCBS sell for about $110.00 dollars, the form trim die in group G sell for about $90.00 each and I purchases 8 group G form trim dies in two RCBS green boxes from a friend at a gun show, after everyone passed on them, I would suggest everyone call RCBS 1 800 533 5000 and order a special order catalog and then after receiving it, study it, ever one else found fault with the dies, I was looking for something good in them, I did, the dies were like new and expensive, something I could not afford other wise.

I understand the question, what are they worth? Without knowing the brand of dies, condition and if they are in sets that include the seating die there is no answer.

Up until I found the 7.7 set of dies with the form die I used the 308 W form die to form 30/06 cases to 7.7 with the aid of the companion tool to the press, the feeler gage, the difference? Now I have instructions.

The 44/77 die is a Group L die, most likely a special order die, something like $140.00.



The 303 Savage is a group G die, $140.00 for the set, list from RCBS $91.00 for the full length sizer die..



6.5mm50 Japanese from RCBS, list $91.00.



30/20 is a group E die, steel sizer die $34.00, carbide $47.00



7.7 Japanese is a group D die, list from RCBS $38.95.



Let it be know you have the dies, most reloaders that are looking for this type die know what they cost, selling and or trading should be easy.
