So, I'm clearing out some old stuff. Have a few old reloading books I have no use for anymore, thought I'd try and get a couple bucks for them.

One of them is "Sinclair International's Precision Reloading & Shooting Handbook". I paid $9 for it new, however long ago. Just googled it to see if there was any chance I could get $10 for it now and if not, I'd just find someone local to give it away to.

Used copies are going for $90!!!

But, that, is NOTHING!

This book:

http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Shooting-Reloading-Guide-Brennan/dp/1931220123/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1433349278&sr=1-2&keywords=precision+reloading+and+shooting+handbook

Precision Shooting Reloading Guide, is going for $900!!!!

Are you kidding me???!!!!

And, am I a schmuck, or what??? Sold my copy a couple years ago for $15. I didn't check online, had no idea...

That's interesting, Dave. Hmm? I have a book by Warren Page on accurate rifles, forget the title? Might fund my retirement?

But, I never throw away old manuals with data for cartridges you don't see much of, in newer editions. Oh? like loads for 350Rem Mag. or 256Winchester, stuff like that? I know, there is only so much room in publishing a reloading manual, but the older stuff apparently, no longer exists? So, I keep mine for reference.

Good hunting. El Bee

Dayum!!!

There seems to be somebody, somewhere, who'll pay handsomely for stuff like that. More power to the seller, I guess?
