I picked up a ton of reloading gear and I am now going through the process of parting it out. I finished the dies but ran across these three presses. I'm not sure how much they are worth. I'm in the process of cleaning up the mean green machine, sorry for the crappy pictures.

If you've got some, use Kano Kroil, or just some regular motor oil, and some 00 steel wool on the rams and handles. That will clean the rusty, crummy looking steel up, plus the oil won't hurt anything anyway.
 
The Junior press would probably fetch $20 or $30.
The 4 X 4 around $150.
The Green Machine maybe $200 if it was cleaned up.

Both the Green Machine and 4X4 were mediocre presses at best.
And having them covered in rust certainly effects their "worth".
A good cleaning would be in order whether you sell them or not.
 
I saw a JR go for $65.00 on eBay the other day. The other two, I'm not so sure about. I don't think RCBS even offers support for them now. There's a reason they were discontinued.
 
Well I got those and 24 die sets, along with some misc parts for $100. I guess I should be able to double my money at least. Thanks for the info.
