Padlock trade for beginners

Hoping to exchange locks with someone in the US. These padlocks represent my current skill level. I would like to trade for a similar sized batch and difficulty level to help my picking progression. These probably won’t challenge anyone with more than a couple weeks experience, but the intermediate/advanced pickers might be tested by the Yale key ways. All locks are in working order. Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks for looking!

Not even a nibble of interest!
How about if I throw in a newly conquered Master No. 3? It may be ugly but it certainly gives a satisfying click when opening. I can't open it with a half-diamond but a short hook does the trick. Remember, an equal trade would only be $5.80 for flat rate shipping for each of us. It's a good deal for a fresh box of locks.

Thanks for looking and take care :razz:

Re: Padlock trade for beginners

Sorry, no.
Unless I'm sending a postcard, postage rates to Australia are ridiculous even for a small item. Maybe there are better options that I'm not aware of. The ultimate goal is to spend the least amount of money for new (to me) locks to practice picking. Piecemeal shipping is not worth the cost.

US forum members:
Flat rate shipping for a small box is only $5.80 in the US. I'm willing to send out my locks and receive 10+ new locks in return for that price. I'm patiently waiting for someone else to do so also. It seems to be a better deal than 99% of ebay auctions. I don't require anything fancy. 4 and 5 pin Master locks or knock-offs are still challenging to me.

As always take care and thanks for looking!

Re: Padlock trade for beginners

As soon as I say piecemeal shipping is not worth the cost I get an offer that I cannot refuse.
Can a moderator strikethrough the following in post #1?

Thanks and have a nice day! :hbg:
