good lord $300!! I can see why you would have a hard time finding them used...

On a slightly unrelated note, does anybody have a Danlock they'd be willing to sell? I'm on Dan's waiting list, but would like to procure one privately, if I could. I'm a trick lock collector in the US.

Please PM me if you are willing to sell, or otherwise know somebody who is.

I am also looking for an Open Lock by Gary Foshee.

Opening times for this lock seem to have a much larger range compared with the others in the series.

I know one forum member opened it in about 7 minutes! But then I know another forum member with quite a bit of Popplock experience (who I won't name because I don't want to embarrass Ali) that has had it for about a week with no joy!

Seems that everyone is enjoying it though! :D

It went very well thanks! I think it is an absolutely brilliant design, and an excellent puzzle as well.

I wrote a bit about it here if you're curious: Oli's Mechanical Puzzle Blog - Popplock T8 :geek:

T8 solved at last!!
Took me three days.

I like it a lot better than T7. Now I am going to let my work colleagues attempt to work it out ;-)
