[@harrywagner3237]

I’ve had a portable key cutting machine since 1974. The way I obtained it was to take a locksmithing class from home. I will keep mine and I do use it occasionally. I bought my first full size key machine about eight years ago from another locksmith. He had bought it from someone who needs the funds. I would never sell mine . I cut only two different types of keys and I have a huge supply of blanks . A student who wants to be a locksmith would like your vintage key machine. It is probably over fifty years old.

[@brianhilliard6616]

The sold comp at 1:19 of the craftsman right angle driver is mine. Picked up at goodwill for $8. Lol! I had actually seen you pick one up in one of your other videos made me check the comps on it plus I sold some craftsman power tools a year or so ago for good money.

Funny about the key cutting machine. They are not illegal to own or sell, but certain places refuse to allow them. There are far worse things being sold such as lock picks and bump keys. I would offer you something for the key cutting machine, but I already have too much junk as my wife would call it in my collection. Oh ILCO is Independent Lock Company.

Interested in selling the key machine? Been on the lookout for one. I deal in antique cars, which are usually missing keys, and locksmiths? Forget it! They want a arm and a leg and no guarantee.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

it has already sold

[@chrisperrien7055]

If you are a car-dealer you can probably get a license or bond in your state, and then buy a machine from a distributor/manufacturer of such machines. It does take an amount of skill and other specialty/expensive tools, up to programming computers for modern chip keys, plus high insurance and possibly an indemnity bond(varies by state/jurisdiction), to do such/ be a locksmith today,. Which is why locksmiths charge what they do(especially if a lock or ignition, is missing its key.), beside the "on-call, quick, mobile service, most provide.
In your case, a car dealer, I think you might be able work out a deal with a good locksmith, to do all your keys, and get a cheaper "no rush" rate, rather than their usual on call service fees.

[@chrisperrien7055]

Some states have laws against the possession, sale or transfer of "burglary tools" except by licensed/bonded individuals/entities (i.e - locksmiths, hardware stores, car dealerships, etc.) . Key machines fall into this area of being "burglary tools". E-Bay forbids them since they do business in these states and other countries that have such laws, to avoid liability and possible accessory charges/lawsuits.
To go further, there federal laws against making copies of keys to federal installations, buildings and property, (mail-box keys being biggest example) which could be an even worse legal head-ache. example- What if "terrorists" used a key-machine bought off E-bay to do some "terrorist" stuff?
I can see E-bay's POV and necessary legal position on this issue.

[@keithjackson1180]

I ran into this recently trying to sell a key machine my dad had. It got yanked really quick - I didn't know they were banned. It's really stupid, if you want to copy most keys all you need is the blank, a clamp, and a file. Banning them stops exactly nobody from making illegal copies.

eBay isn’t the only place to sell if you know the business well enough. That vintage key cutter is easily $200 and you can sell it anywhere but eBay. eBay outlaws more stuff than any other platform and it’s all at their discretion so they don’t need a valid reason. Or a sensible one at that.
I have a locksmith materials permit, medical equipment license and a art dealer’s certification. Cost less than $250 to get all those and don’t need ebay to make money off of them.
