Hmm, how retarded are people on Ebay? This retarded:

Hmm, at the time of this posting it was up to $102.50. I could find LOTS of better things to spend my $100 on. I'd really like to know how people can justify spending this amount of money on a freaking KEY.

I wish I lived in Japan, little things like that could be easily shipped and sold on ebay.
I wonder how much those things cost, go to Japan bring a bunch of little JDM things back and make loads of money on it.

Notice how the seller made sure he put SR20DET in the auction title. I wonder how many of those 26 bids were placed by the wannabe buyers, thinking it was an SR going really insanely cheap. Do you think anyone was that stupid? Or are all of them just stupid enough to pay over $100 for a key blank? :confused: :rolleyes:

I have a chrome NISMO key so I can't talk any sh1t. It's something that I wanted and I got it:rolleyes: Spent more on it than I wanted to but whatever.
A $100 for a key though sounds like someone that doesn't have a SR

I'm sure if you contacted one of the companies that makes key blanks, told them you had a design that you could sell for 100 dollars and you would split it 50/50 with them if they produced it for you, would leap at the chance.

Heh, yeah I saw that one today. There's also FS ALREADY CUT silvia keys and they are going for a premium as well. I mean why????? Oh yeah, and there's also a couple USDM uncut keys going for $20! I mean comeon, just goto wal-mart and grab a knock-off for $1.50 :rolleyes:

find out what other markets want that we have. It works both ways, the grass is always greener on the other side. The Japanese and Europeans love our cars and American stuff.
I'm sure there are stuff that are in our market that can be sold at a good markup to other countries. I'm personally too lazy to look for them ;)

That's REALLY stupid.
But I will still pay GOOD money for the JDM Kouki S14 bumper.

thats very true, if i lived in japan I probably would feel the same way, thats why when you visit you know what to grab and sell.
