found this today when i was getting tools out my storage. I had bought it last fall and forgot to post it:
New, ilco key duplicator, in the box, with instructions and 50 schlage blanks. Apartment owner had a manager that bought it intending to make keys and save money. Manager got fired, owner never used it. $5 for the outfit.
I have somewhat of a dislike for the local locksmith here. He's unpleasant, and hard to work with. So much so, that i bought my own tools and rekey stuff myself now, just to avoid him. But, he cuts keys better than the hardware store does. I went in a while back, had him cut 3 more keys for my new house; schlage pattern. He cut them on huge blanks that he's had custom made to have a lot of advertising for his business stamped on them. When i got home and gave one to my wife, she immediately said it's too big. Sure enough, it's irritating to have the huge thing in my pocket. So, i may be into making my own keys now..... I think not, this thing is new and unused, and worth maybe $300 on ebay. That'll buy a lot of keys made at $3 apiece. I think i'll keep the box of blanks, and make him duplicate the keys onto my blanks next time.
