    Default Re: Another FANTASY WINCHESTER Padlock SOLD for $$250+++ on Ebay

    Hi oldlock, in the seller's first sentence he states: "very rare vintage"
    States the key is not original "but it’s extremely rare to find this style of padlock with it’s original key"
    But covers all bases with: "It could possibly be antique, I would assume it is but I’m not 100% sure."
    To me this seller's description would be very tempting to a novice collector & the seller has misrepresented the item. But that is my opinion......momma

    We could be charitable as say that maybe the seller just does not know anything about locks. The starting price he has placed on the second lock would seem to confirm that as it's realistic value is about $20. I do laugh when I see stuff with stupid prices as the chances are it will never sell and unless ebay is having a free listing week it costs quite a bit to list something with a high starting price, especially if it's then relisted, & relisted again. I have given up sending emails to sellers with advice - as they never take any notice ..
