Brian and Dave, my advice to someone starting out is to stick with a single stage press such as the MEC 600JR or an older out of production VersaMec. Both are relatively inexpensive, of course the more bars and bushings you want push the overall price up. They are great machines and will if cared for provide a lifetime of service. $100 is too high IMO, here is one that may sell for $40.

I do not advise anyone new to reloading to start with a progressive reloader such as the MEC 650. When things go wrong, and they will, one must stop and think where each of the six shells is and what status they are in. The chance of double charging powder, crushing a wad with a wad, a double charge of shot spilling everywhere is quite high for the inexperienced and still happens to the best of us on occasion.
