Any single stage press.
Dies are dies. Nobody makes any that are better. They might look better, but they won't load more accurately.
Calipers for measuring
Powder trickler
Powder measure
Scale
Chamfer and deburring tool
Case trimmer
Bullet comparator and headspace comparator set. Hornady makes them.
That will do everything you need.

I drove into Nashville today and picked up one of a reloading shop’s last kits.
I got the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme:
I also picked up powder, bullets, and some primers. They only had magnum primers, but the old baw said they would work fine if I back 10% off my charge.
I’ll be ready to load as soon as my dies arrive Monday.

That’s a good press

It was more than I had planned to pay, but I’m glad to be done with it.
Stock is running low everywhere.

Can't go wrong with that.

What powder did you find?

Looks like you're good to go. 
Don't forget to get a pair of dial calipers. I bought a set of digital for $20 from Freight harbor 30 years ago and still use them every time I load. The collet dies will serve you well, but at some point (after 4-5 firings) you'll prob need a full length die to return the shot brass back to factory dimensions. You'll also need a tool to trim the brass. Virgin brass doesn't normally need to be trimmed until after being shot a few times, but sometimes brand new brass needs to be trimmed.I like the Lee case length gauge, trimmer and ball grip.. You'll need different car length gauge for each caliber. What powder did you get?

WOW! Wished I lived closer.

You could probably sell that set up for around 1000-1500 or more if you really wanted to.

I wouldn't even know where to begin posting it for sale. That's also way more than I would have asked. I would have been happy to get my money back in 2018 prices.

gunbroker; facebook market place (or whatever it is); craiglist; ebay
I have no need for any of it. If I did, I'd likely be driving to Auburn.
