Question On Selling An Item

I am new to this web-site. Many years ago (Late 60's to mid 70's I shot bench rest here Springfield, Mo.- Tulsa, Okla.- St Louis, Mo.- Mill Creek ( Walt Berger Home Range ).You can probably guess my age. I no longer shoot and was selling some things and found a little one stage press that I forgot I had. It has the names of Ross and Webb on it. It is New Never used. I think I purchased it from a man who lived in or around K.C., Missouri. Have heard that shooters pre-load and never load at range ?
I do not want to do something wrong here and get kicked off ( maybe I have already said to much )I think I know what I paid for it but not sure. I use to take Precision Shooting and remember seeing a photo of it and just had to have it, got it and never used it. ) (have you ever done anything like that).
Have no idea what it's worth. Any help here.
 
Is it an arbor press for Wilson dies or is it threaded to take standard dies?
 
See if you can find one or one comparable on Ebay--be sure to check completed auctions for what $$ they finally sold for.
 
If believe the Ross Wilson is a block aluminum "C" press . the bulky design of which provides the mass for reducing flex. I'm not sure they'd hold up over time if used for reloading large numbers of bullets but I think they may be well suited for range load development exercises.
Single stage "C" presses range in price from about $25 to $175 on the commercial market but I have no idea how to price what I believe you have.
 
They hold up just fine, and was actually made by Don Ross. As the aluminum wears, where the ram passes through, you can tighten it to restore tension.

Once you have decided on a price, i'll take first crack at it ;)
 
I have the same press that I bought back in the same time period to use for my PPC's. It's too long for 308 length cases, as I found out for trying to use it back in the full length 308 days of Hunter Class, but works fine for 30x47's and smaller. It's the only press I use for my Dashers.

If I remember right, they were made in batches of 10, and I got in on the 2nd or 3rd run. I don't have a clue what I paid for it new, seems like it was mid $200's.

New and unused, I'd say it's still all of that.....
 
Thank you all for the help.alf is correct as to the press. I am going to try something that probably won't work, however you never know if you don't try.
I am going to list all of my BenchRest equit together and maybe two or three of you can get together and purchase. Thanks again John
