I should check Ebay more often, i tend not to poke around on there to much after managing to kick a severe addiction a couple of years ago.

Ebay do remove this stuff don't they?

Oh does any body want to make an offer on two dozen inflatable teddy shaped chairs :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers

No thanks im trying to give them up :lol:

Well ebay dont even look into items unless you report them for going against the rules and then the will look into them somtimes if they can be bothered, if theres a few bids on the item and they stand to make some money they wont remove it but rather let the sale go through then send the winning bidder a email saying they dont have to continue the sale due to the item being against the listing rules. The buyer ignores it, and ebay still gets the money from it.

yes and no - all the padlocks are stamped with a serial number on the back . You look up the serial number in the book and find the code. This info used to be free in the locksmith ledger mag - i have some lists but they are old but they turn up once a year - at best this book would be 30 bucks - but if they lost the combo sell the customer a new one
