BEST padlocks

[ImSchatten360]

Hi,

I have seen a whole bunch of different BEST padlocks on ebay during the last months with all types of different labels (e.g. "boise cascade"). They usually sell for quite some amount.
What is so special about those labeled padlocks?

Regards

Some people collect things relating to a particular company.

Some of those older locks from companies that are long out of business are collectible like coins -- the less used or circulated the more valuable...

Thanks guys!

So we lockpicker additionally have to compete with lock collectors for the BEST locks
I only have two W keyway cores so I figured a housing would be a nice thing but those
lock collectors just ruin the prices

Thanks for the great link! There are so many of those BEST locks. Luckily as lockpickers we only need a few of them for picking
