Medeco question from a miser

[MBI]

Based on my ebay experiences, $25 is way too much for a single 51S cylinder. Unless it was brand-new or something.

Yeah it's a bit higher than average pricing on ebay, but he did save an awful lot compared to list price on a new one, which is in the ballpark of $89. I doubt this one was new though because it looks like the seller bead blasted the front of the cylinder to clean up it's appearance. It makes me wonder what it looked like before he did that.

Looking at ebay, It looks like 25 USD may be a little steep beause they do sell groups of medeco's without keys for about that price, but I still don't see an M3 for less than 60 USD. One lock they consistently have on there for 9.99 USD is the Medeco Switch Lock. Any opinions on this lock? They are everywhere. And if anybody has any suggestions on where to get an M3 cheap ,used or ne, I'm all ears.

And this Medeco is kicking my *** so far! But if it was too easy this hobby would suck.
