whoa whoa whoa guys lets calm the waters a lil bit...

now for the record the latches were in perfect used condition. its my fault the forged steel latch casing got gouged in shipping. they just dont make hardened steel like they use to... they got an aluminum feel to them now.

but like i said green, my greatest apologize. i didnt pack it with newspaper, bc the machine that does everything didnt have a paper dispenser. i will gladly make this right. and fellas i think the throwing them away was just used metaphorically. but gmg pm me if you wanna work something out to make this deal better.
