Hard-To-Find Product Source?

Editor:

I would like to thank you and Locksmith Ledger over the last 37 years of timely product information and service helpful hints. I have most of the issues and am amazed of the evolution of the publication and the  industry. I also appreciate you personally taking my calls when my experience was lacking. Thank you very much. 

I started from "scratch" and& with your help, I have been blessed. I am now oversupplied in many areas. My question is: Do you know of a web page where locksmiths go when they would like to buy hard-to-find products? 

Again, thanks for your help in the past. I hope to retire from a 60-hour work week by age 75 (3.5 yrs to go). I'll always continue to practice my trade but at a slower pace, my golf clubs are calling me!

Have a beautiful & successful new year.
