I have some, but I am not interested in selling them. However I am curious as to why you want these. They did not last long as they were easy to forget to lock or lock impropperly and the sleves would spin open very easily. Sounded great in theory but after actually using them they performed poorly and I consider them to be potentially more dangerous.

The geometry of the basket and the arc of the gate swing are amenable to grouped racking systems; they're light and the locking sleeve is trim. I wouldn't use them for their originally intended purpose for the very reasons you cited.

Thanks,
