I'm sure for those "in the know" this is a very interesting topic, however, my origanal question still remains unanswered. How does this lock work?

As only a few were produced its unlikley someone on here knows how it works without buying it and dis-assembling it to find out. Its a great opportunity for yourself to try something new which we always need on the forum and you will answer your own questions by studying it.

Yeah, but "reserve not met" always makes me nervous.

Why

It just means that the seller is not prepared to give the lock away & I don't blame him. Ebay is so unpredicatable he would have to be mad to list a good item without a reserve.

Just decide what you are prepared to pay and bid accordingly.

Then set the starting bid to a reasonable price, and/or put the "buy it now" icon with the price you want. However, with "reseve" i have no idea how much he is charging (he hasn't replied to e-mails) and for all I know it could be a rediculous price.

You probably dont sell on ebay then, as a seller (now and again) you end up paying for everything that you want to do ie it costs to put a reserve on, it costs to have a starting price, it costs to put a buy it now icon on, it costs when it is sold a percentage of what it went for etc etc, all these prices vary depending on price, price you put, price you reserve etc etc,

If you want this lock and are willing to pay upto a certain amount put that amount on, if it doesnt meet the reserve price then no you cant afford it for what you want to pay. If your bid is higher than the reserve the winning bid to date (ie you) will be set at that reserve.

If you want it bid if you dont dont, its as easy as that.

You're right I'm not an e-bay seller. But I thought that if I placed what I was willing to pay, but it did not meet reserve, and I won, then wouldn't I have to pay whatever his reserve was?

Just put a bid on it and have a go if you get it you do if you dont you dont !

No if the reseve is not met the item remains unsold.

If an item has a start bid of $1 and a reserve of $50 and you put $40 and you are the only one bidding you wouldnt win the item.

If you put a bid of $100 on and you are the only bidder the bid would go up to $50 (the reserve price) and you would win the item at $50.

If i was the seller and it had a reserve price of $50 and you had put $45 when the item went unsold (reserve not met) i would have the chance of selling it to you anyway at your bid, which i would as a loss of $5 is nothing so you could get it at $45.

If you want to pay $10 for this lock and his reserve is higher, on the close of auction you will not be expected to up your price to the reserve and pay for it.

Please if this is to complicated read the ebay help pages.

The keytop and bow are designed by top designers, which can be seen by the elegant design of the key. It has also an ergonomic shape. Goal was to let the key look like a piece of jewellery

can't be so hard to pick if it was designed to look nice,:D but may provide a few hours of fun

let the bidding begin lol

Any one know this lock?
