Where can I buy a big bag of used padlocks to practice picking? Don't care about keys, just quantity, variety and low cost.
Thrift stores, Craigslist, garage sales.
Bike racks

I always "misplace" the small padlocks on porta-johns/Dixieland/outhouses/mobile crappers/whatever the fuck you call it
Why are you trying to learn to pick locks and what type of locks do think you will be picking? Picking padlocks is pretty much the single most autistic thing you can do in the world of forcible entry. Shim or cut a padlock. Very few situations really call for lock picking. nine out of ten times you can pull a hinge, bow a frame, knife a latch etc and do less damage while getting in more quickly. Life doesn't have XP, and lock picking is much more relevant in vidya.
If you reeeeeeeeealy want to learn, there are better ways. Start with shit that takes a skeleton key that you can tear apart. Get old boxes and drawers. Then maybe some shitty padlock. After that keyed inserts and door locks. Again, though... why? Practice situation awareness and most people can get in most places with a few simple tools and skills. None of which is lock picking. Besides, I usually pass the speech check.

I'm not the one posting a new thread looking for locks as a hobby when I have a thread going already about said gay hobby. How about a line at the end of the last thread "looking for locks for above gay hobby". but no..... new thread, "have gay hobby, need locks". This is why I chose to question OP's need for these locks.
I say again OP, why the hell doth thou needth said locks, for what faggotry is afoot?
ebay?

Creative ideas, but someone put and left those locks there as a matter of convenience, I don't want to steal anything.

I'm not a criminal so this advise is worthless on top of patronizing. Why'd you even come in here? The length and tone of your two shitposts smacks of actual autism.

I've been looking on eBay but it seems that most lock lots are "collectors" items and are preposterously overpriced. I'll keep looking.
>>920773
I'll ask around, thanks.
>>920633
Been watching Elementary much, OP? :-)

>preposterously overpriced
You do know you can offer a different price for what those cunts are trying to get you to buy right?
Give it a try--offer 10$ for those rusty junk padlocks.

locksmith here, picking locks is really easy. dont bother with multiple pad locks, go get some regular cylinders to practice on. you can even get a pin set and re-pin the cylinder to anything you want.
>>920633
Go to a self storage place. Ask them if you can collect any locks they cut.
>>920633
go to france

Go to Wal Mart and get a couple of cheap ass padlocks - whatever shitty store brand (the one with the mountain on it) will be fine, or any Masterlock should prove adequate.
Masterlocks are very easy to pick, and being able to get something open will give you confidence.
If you still want to keep going after that, get a training cylinder where you can re-pin it easily. Buy once and you can do anything from 1 to 6 pins, toss in various security pins when that gets too easy, so on and so forth.

They had so many locks on some of those bridges that they were removing the locks because they were afraid the weight was going to cause the bridges to fail.
