A basic LNL AP is like $500-600 full retail. So maybe $300... If you have the case feeder/bullet feeder stuff it would be more obviously.
Used die sets realistically sell anywhere from $10 to $40, depending on the brand. Lately have paid less than $10 for used and new LEE dies, up to $20 for a never used Hornady titanium set, or $25 for an excellent RCBS set.
Powder at gun shows is slow to sell even at $25-30 for sealed cans. Figure $20-25 a lb at most realistically. I bought a bunch yesterday anywhere from $22-30 a lb.
Primers- will sell fast in the $40-50 range per k. Maybe more if they are large rifle or more in demand ones….
So you can use that info to do the math, otherwise we are all just guessing at what you have. People won’t pay anywhere near the retail price on stuff, especially powder or primers where you don’t know the history of it or how it was stored. Rarely have seen any sold that was bad, but it does happen once in a while
Personally- I would not sell it off unless you are in a financial bind. I took a 20+ year break from reloading before getting back into it seriously. Was happy I never sold off any of my equipment when that day came…

Thank you, and thank you everyone! I’m leaning toward keeping it and getting it better organized. Sure money hurts right now but who isn’t? I’d love to sit down and crank out some rounds and head to the range, it’s just not as easy any more. Guess I could sell off my primers and powder just to get new stuff that’s fresh in the future, but really, what’s it hurt having it for a rainy day in a sealed ammo can.
Looks like I’ve got a lb of h335 never opened
And about 2.5 lbs of Winchester 231. Side note, one bottle has been open but sealed- still good or toss?
8000 small pistol primers
3400 large pistol primers
1000 small rifle primers
Can’t find my bullets right now, no idea what I’ve got there.
