New/never used in original package. Ohaus 505 (also branded as the RCBS Model 5-0-5) reloading Scale

$70 – $95 (Excellent / Mint in Box): Includes the original vintage cardboard box, manual, and has pristine metal alignment bars and clean poise weights.
What Drives the Value? • The "Made in USA" Factor: Older units manufactured in the United States by Ohaus are highly sought after by collectors and precision shooters on platforms like eBay and the Accurate Shooter Forum.
• Replacement Cost: A brand-new modern alternative, like the RCBS M500 (which replaced the 505), retails for about $120 to $125. Because these mechanical scales are discontinued but highly revered by reloaders for their lifetime durability, they retain their value incredibly well compared to digital scales.
