How much do I need to pay for my friend?

[Mysavageisaccurate]

This is my first time to start the handloading

But one of my friend gave me a bunch of tools for handloading

I think i need to pay for these items

Looks like just some of it was used once other wrapped with plastic are looks new to m
Approximately how much i own him?

200bucks?

200 seems like a fair amount for it.

Probably costs a bit more, I value it all a bit less so that’s a nice compromise.

 

[Bmghunter]

Given you most likely will end up upgrading many of the items, I think he cost you more money

I agree w/ @spife7980, shockingly.

$200 is maybe high end of what I’d pay, but it depends upon what kind of friend this is. I’m not meaning to be callous, but in my book a real friend gets more than a casual friend or acquaintance.

What is he asking for it? Some might consider it rude to offer money for a gift…

Yeah, and I have some of those items and more, and was planning on giving it to a young'n who is interested. Kid could take the money and buy as many primers as possible.

None of it is stuff you will keep if you continue in loading so don't get too wrapped around the axle about the amount. It's cheap stuff which is why he gave it to you

 

[MarshallDodge]

Most of the red stuff came in a kit that cost $99 when new. It's what I started on, made some good ammo, but also broke some things.

$100 would be a good price.

I agree.

And OP, just couch to him as an offer as you don’t want to take advantage of his generosity, etc.

The purpose is not to determine a price and pay for it, to my mind.

The purpose is to show your good friend your gratitude in a concrete way.

And if he says GTFO, then thank him and don’t bring it up again.

Just my view.

Buy him a case of his favorite beer.

Buy him a case of his favorite beer.

Yeah

I think this is best bet for him and me.

 

[Mysavageisaccurate]

Actually he did not mention about selling or asking money

I just feel like i have to give him hundred bucks, so i asked him “How much i owe you?” / “Give me whatever you want”

So that’s whole purpose of this thread

I have no idea how much of that kit + other RCBS stuffs

But i can see that around 100-200 bucks

So i might give him 100 + buy some beer next time then

 

[MO Fugga]

Be meticulous, and crank out some single SD ammo with it, as it's possible. That's a reward in itself.

That seems fair for both of you. Nice gesture on both ends .
