A friend who used to reload gave me his press and associated items and I have little idea as to the value before I put it in the Buy/Sell. The brass is my once fired Hornady Creedmoor so I can take a guess at the market rate for that, but for the other stuff I'm really at a loss. Ballpark ideas to help me price it fairly? I'm not a rifle/handgun reloader.

Ok, the blue press is a Dillon RL550. I can't tell if it is a 550B or a 550C. Looking at the ram, that press is in good condition. There are 6 toolheads - 2 with dies, one with a powder thrower and unknown dies, the other 8x57 no powder thrower. There are two powder throwers mounted to toolheads. There are three primer tubes, blue, yellow, and green tips. The silver thing just above the press goes with the press - it catches primers. The blue plastic thing just to the right of the silver thing tells you when you are out of primers - it goes with the press. The black plastic stick with the knob on the end holds down primers and it goes with the press.
There are six die boxes: Hornady 223 rem, Hornady 6.5 creedmoor, two each RCBS 308 FL sizer, Dillon 9mm and Dillon 45acp. The small blue boxes are probably the shellholder and buttons for the dillon dies. One of those boxes may be empty and its dies installed into the toolhead with dies.
The round flat thing, lower right, is a primer flipper. The green hammer-thingy is a kinetic bullet puller. The green box underneath it is a case lube pad.
You know about the scale - as someone else said, it doesn't have much value.
There are two boxes of bullets that I can't read and 300 Hornady 6.5 creed fired cases.
There is a plastic box just below the press with some stuff in it. I don't know what any of that is.
Pricing: go to ebay, look for Dillion 550, sold prices. Do the same on Gunbroker. I'm not going to guess. Dillon stuff generally has good resale value.
If you want to break it up, offer the press, toolheads, powder throwers, primer tubes as a package. Include the die box and shellholder that goes with the toolhead with dies -- or -- remove the dies from the toolhead and put them back into the die box. Throw in the kinetic bullet puller, lube pad, and primer flipper. I would offer the dies as a package. I would offer the brass and bullets as a package. Put the scale on your mantle or donate it to someone just getting started.
If I were buying, I don't need that brass or the dies or the bullets but I would be interested in the press package - that is where most of the value is and I want a second 550. The brass might be worth about $100. All the dies might be worth somewhere around $150 to $200 to someone who wanted all of those calibers.
Good luck!
