Some one else selling Bogota Picks

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Some one else selling Bogota Picks

This site is advertising the 2 bogotas for $30 stainless and $35 in titanium

I assume that Raimundo has nothing to do with these particular picks.

They have 100's of them in stock IF you want these ones.

They look to be mass produced crap to me but your milage may vary.

Same photos and descriptions as on serepick.com but for $5 less. Seems a little fishy to me.

I emailed my friend who runs serepick to ask if he has a partnership with the other site. They may very well have some sort of contract or something. As to mass produced and hand made Bogotas, I believe the steel ones are made by Raimundo, the titanium ones are mass produced. I have both and its easy to tell which is which, but the mass produced ones are by no means inferior, they're finished using a tumbling process, and work just as well.

there are some sites like its tactical and other uspreppers, where they have some kind of resale arrangement with serepick. Matts in charge of marketing for me so how he gets the job done is his business.
the titanium and stainless picks that are made by serepick are under an agreement with me, and these other sites that advertize them actually don't have any stock, they forward the order to Matt.
