I certainly wasn't giving KKB her "props". She has pulled auctions, of items like old B&O/C&O Timetables, operating manuals, WM/SCL/L&N obsolete manuals, maps, etc. I might agree that some keys don't belong in circulation, but the AB Law Firm routinely pulls all auctions, with pre-CSXT materials in them. I DO have a problem with ephemera being pulled, and obviously obsolete items, with no chance of a modern day application being made. Kind of like when CSXT sued CSX-SUX. They lost that suit, and now have to support (host) the websight they tried to shut down, with a lawsuit. There comes a point, when a giant Fortune 500 or 100 corporation should stick to making shareholder dividend payments, and stop trying to micro-manage every last sheet of paper being sold. As I told KKB, when she pulled some pre-1970 TT's from eBay on some of my auctions, the "after banning" sales were much higher in price, then I could have sold them for at auction, so actually, as I explained to her, she was driving prices up, and creating a bigger market for "blackmarket' goods. I thanked her profusely, of course.............
Of course, if all the roads simply went to high security locks, there would be no issues with any keys. (Leatherman sales would skyrocket, but that's another story......
) When you look today, you will see more LVRR lock and key sets for sale, again with the words "obsolete, defunct and no modern day use" being in the auctions. We all should know how to buy keys and locks and lanterns, if we looked in a periodical, whos' name escapes me currently.........
