Heh, of course not. Well, about 50% of the way- and I found a supplier of the item needed who was going to give me a deal, but than the price kept going up, and up- and finally they stopped contacting me.


Trying to find a local supplier now, as ebay sellers want way too much to ship to me.

So how about a raffle to raise a bit more cash. People would spend a few bucks for the chance to win a nice lock or two. Or maybe a lock stand or something. I don't know about the legalities of a raffle tho...might not be plausable.

Well, thats what the auction was for- people bid on a lock, (or locks) and the winner got said locks.

Only issue is/was- shipping is very expensive now, and no one really liked the extra fees for shipping. I gave persons the option between tracked and insured, or slow ground. Most opted for slow ground shipping.


So far I have 2 packages that did not arrive- one being to a location only hours from me, in the same Country.... :| Basically it became more hassle than it was worth.


I'm just waiting on the right deal to pop up again,
