‘Triple locked’ makes as much sense as ‘hot water heater’. They are common phrases that don’t actually mean anything.

Very clean white 1996. Doesn't look to be locked but my eyes suck.
What about retrofitting factory lockers?

I find it interesting that the 80s are now seen as investments. But I'll admit 5-6 years ago that white truck would have likely been a $6k-$7k truck, so clearly the clean, unmolested ones are bringing a premium. Just an interesting observation.
Not getting in on the locker conversation, different strokes, but I will keep an eye out for you.

Perfect, but wrong color. Otherwise I’d be on it
A white collectors edition would be my choice for resale.
As I’ve said time and time again, look for the cleanest, well maintained 80 you can find with ZERO rust. As soon as one pops up be ready to buy as they will not last long. Other options can be added later down the road. The K294 option shouldn’t be a deal killer. Both Locked and unlocked trucks that are clean will sell for the same money now and down the road.
When I was shopping for my 80 I distinctly remember passing up several very clean trucks but I passed on them due to not being “triple locked.” Fast forward a few years and I wish I would have bought the cleanest vehicle I could find and not paid a premium for factory lockers. I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve needed Both lockers. Besides, the Toyota lockers are slow to lock and half the time you have to drive in circles and back up and drive forward and do a backflip for them to then unlock.
all 3 80's in Team Tolleson are 3xlocked but if I needed or wanted another and needed and wanted lockers a set of Harrop's would be a win. Toyota lockers are getting old and tired...
Taking the hard line on Golden Crack with my 1996 with only an ole Aussie Locker in the rear
White (mostly) and triple locked (aussie's but it's locked). Clean? Not so much 
Personally I prefer the pre airbag 80 but the 2B does not change his mind about anything.
To the "general public" buyers (generally not 'MUD participants) who are looking to off-road any at all, they're going to find value in lockers. For resale, I think you're going to deter a certain number of people who "have to have" lockers. For those who don't care, they'll still be OK with buying one that has them. Mine have always worked quickly and properly.
For resale down the road, I wouldn't consider buying one without them.
