I tried to see an antique key cutter on ebay and they pulled it twice. The idiots called it a burglary tool and that's against ebay policy. I haven't sold a thing on ebay since then.

Just because you don't use it as such does not mean that they are not classified as such.

If my key cutter is a burglary tool then a hammer is a lethal weapon and shouldn't be sold on ebay either. How come others have sold key machines on ebay, but I can't?

The same thing happened when I tried to sell a clean open title for a 1929 Model A truck. I've seen several titles sold for $300 and up on ebay.

I do have a 1929 Cowl, so I should advertise that I have a 1929 Model A with clean title for sale, but several parts are missing.

Look, you do the research, most states consider code cutters in the hands of those not in the business of making keys, burglary tools, and if even only one did, ebay would be correct in denying its sale.

Tom. You have to call it a "historical document". Then eBay will allow it.
