lockpicks on ebay - who says there aren't any?

Probably digging up an old topic here, but I just uncovered this set of what looks like regular lockpicks on ebay in France. I think the French secret services will have a word or three to say about this.

Well that's interesting - 70 looks and no replies. I think this may be heading for a record? Be interesting to see what those picks sell for...

By the looks of it the listing has been cancelled.

Here's some more. This time they are being called "manipulators". They look like jigglers or skeleton keys to me, so maybe they aren't actually "lock picks".

test - crashed on me last time

I once saw a basic spring steel pick set being auctioned off because the lister cleverly named the item a "deadbolt tool set".
