    I hate to seem negative, as there might be some good stuff there, but I'd be concerned about how the items appear to have been stored. As a reloader of 30+ years, I'd wonder about the condition of the inside of the dies (outside can be cleaned up), and I'd definitely write off the powder, primers and any loaded ammo. The presses will probably clean up ok, and I can't really tell what else might be in there. Just my unsolicited opinion from looking at the photos. I hope it's all good, and wish you good luck with it.
