Pssst! Hey buddy wanna bump key ??

[pickmonger]

For $9.99 on ebay you get 5 keys cut as space and depth keys.



While the vendor calls them bump keys, you have to modify these to work.


The blanks look like schlage, westlock, weiser, kwickset and Yale. Can anyone confirm this.

Saw this last night

I guess we will have to see if they get removed,

[yng_pick]

not a bad price if they meet the specs needed for bumps keys (after altering them)-

duplicates on those blanks would bring a total of 7.50 and tax at the shop I'm with-
but a key by code goes for a bit more

not sure why he put bump in the description- space and depth would have been good to not have it canceled

[devildog]

Doubt they'll be removed; they are bypass tools and against ebay's policy but they're too new to be automatically caught like anything with the keyword 'lockpick' in it would. I don't agree with ebay's policy about not selling bypass tools, BTW, so I really don't care and hope he pulls it off.

Your links re-directs to another page. Here's the same thing with a working link:

"Item has ended." Whatever that means. I managed to buy some right before that happened though.

thats just wrong. i won a key machine for a hundred bucks and they pulled
it. so a key machine is bad but bump keys are ok.

Email the seller privately. I'm sure they wont mind saving on ebay fees.

I got one of my machines off ebay, i also sold a transponder machine through ebay,

The key machine had to be completed out of ebay but the transponder machine went through, go figure

You all know my views on lockpicking items etc on ebay but key machines are a differant kettle of fish, i dont see what the issue is with them,

[bpc293]

ebay must of said something to the seller. they would not return my emails. ebay i think will not pull something intill someone complains about it.

[srm]

how do they need to be modified?

[n2oah]

how do they need to be modified?

The key's tip and shoulder must be filed down.

[pb2au]

They keep popping up on ebay from time to time. Just look every once in a while and you can find them if you need to. I don't know if it's against ebay policy or not... selling the blanks isn't... selling a steel ruler and saying that it "could be turned into a slim jim" isn't...

I thought that bumping was pretty new, but I just read a few articles on it that mentioned it was popular in the 1970s. 35 years, and we haven't fixed the weakness in our locks? I've never tried it, but maybe I should hang out on ebay more often.

Please share those articles with us. Perhaps start a new thread on them.

Dang, almost got me a 32 piece set of HPC's for 14 dollars, 9$ shipping a while back, dang policies.


I think it would be pretty neet to sell picks like homemades:O) I can do that here, but another market is cool.


Rules are rules though
