I thought I would start a thread for us to post Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for reloading equipment and tools. Also a place to post what you are looking for. Some of us are new to the hobby and still need some basic stuff. Some of you more experienced maybe looking for to replace or upgrade stuff.

I will start it off.

I am looking for a Frankford Arsenal tumbler and a good lathe type case trimmer.
 
Midsouth has free hazmat with $140 powder order (several brands) and they have 12000 crate of Fiocchi primers for $279
 
Midway has Lyman case trimmers on sale now. I use a little 12V power drill with mine. Works well enough. Not sure if that's what you mean by lathe type. I'd like a small machine lathe, but space and budget prevent that from happening.

The option with the power trimmer is a good deal. I think I paid ~$25 for the power trimmer later, after realizing doing it by hand makes it more of an unpleasant chore. Plus I can feel it reaching the end of the trim a little better with the drill.
Be sure to keep it well oiled if you go this route.

Thank you for your response. I think I will wait a few more days to see if the price goes a little lower. If not I will order one.
 
They have Wilson manual trimmers on sale also. I kind of want to pick one up, but since I only load pistol brass and my trimming needs are likely to remain small, I don't know that I want to spend $130 on it right now.
 
MidwayUSA.com has the Hornady M1 case tumbler regular price $57.99 for $27.99 with a rebate of 100 free Hornady bullets.
 
Keep an eye on the where are the reloading components on sale thread also that is stickied.

I've got it on my watched threads list and it's been very helpful in increasing my value per dollar
 
OK Here we go. Just got a flyer from Franklin Arsenal (btibrands.com) for the Platinum Case Prep machine for $95.99. The sale does not start till FRIDAY. Yes! buy this one if you want a case trimmer with all the other built in tools.

they have 2 models this is the case prep only one not the trimmer.
 
Thanks Englishman you seem to be correct. I have the item with the "same name" and it trims the case too. I will investigate their ad further. Thanks
 
The Frankfort Arsenal Platinum machine (as shown in the picture on their web site) definitely has a plugged hole in the middle of the machine face where the brass trimmer would go. DON'T buy this machine. Don't buy any electric brass prep machine without a brass trimmer. Machines without this feature (trimmer) are a super waste of money and their functions are no better than a hand held tool.
It's a mystery why BTI would sell such a heavy machine without the trimming feature. Perhaps the machines are "seconds" or "blems" that the feature never worked on in the first place. Go figure.
I e-mailed BTI asking about this machine, but have not received an answer yet.
Yes, this is just my humble opinion, but after looking for a trimmer on the web for months I can see no benefit in spending a great deal of money on a machine that chamfers and deburrs and cleans primer pockets.
 
Not on sale but I just ordered 1000 pieces of 10mm auto brass from Starline.

And I get a free camo hat! Yeah!

Actually I hate camo apparel so........ I got a free lawn cutting hat! Yeah!

Not that it matters, but the trimmer isn't located in the center. It's offset, similar to the 4 station machine your referencing w/o a trimmer.
Trimmer model has 3 stations + trimmer. Been happy w/mine. Better w/upgraded cutter die (RCBS)
