rcbs 505 scales are around 100 new so £55 to £60 scond hand is a good price
the rcbs comp two die set is around £120 new so £60 to £70 second hand is about right if there in good condition.
looks like a lee 243 case trimmer is in that grey box there about £6 new so say 3 pound

as for the press i dont know what model it is. doesnt look like a rock chucker unless its the older model. but rcbs make good presses so say 50 to 60 pound for that
and it looks like he has some more standard 243 dies so price them acording to what they are.
 
jay 22 we seem to be pretty much of a similar mind as regards prices. I think that the press is a rockchucker but I am not absolutely certain as it is slightly different from my own but I do know that mine is the later model.
 
If all the bits are with it and it's in good condition which the photograph seems to indicate, I would estimate £80 -£100. After all a new rockchucker costs about £180 now.
 
Hi ive spoken to my friend and everything in the pictures except the competion dies are up for grabs, so i take it the die on the press is not for sale but all the rest is, if some kind members could put a value on this lot as a whole we will take it from there.
Kindest regards Neil
 
This is a Rockchucker MkIV (and still with it's spent primer catcher) a superb single stage press and built to last, value maybe £170 new so £70 to £80 possibly a little more as these presses hold their value very well. The vernier calipers are fairly cheap these days and adequate Chinese imports go for £10 to £15. The hand primer, funnel and measure £15 to £20 for all three (the balance pan and hanger in the same picture go with the scales) The scales are a good set so £45 to £55, I am not sure about the RCBS dies though the one still in the press is a competition die as it says on the box. Has your mate got any other RCBS kit he wants to sell ?
 
Out of interest you can check the manufacture date of a Rockchucker, it is stamped in small numbers on the top close to the bush thread, mine is a '74 vintage.
 
:thumb: The valuations the others have given are indeed about right. The press looks like mine & I'd agree it's a Rockchucker.
Not sure what ordinary RCBS dies cost these days, I'm guessing new about £30 a set? Cheers.
