GB: TOYOTA SWITCH BLADE KEYS, TOYOTA SWITCH BLADE KEYS Options

[Buckeye]

I want to start a new one but wanted to find some interest first. I'm pretty sure these will go quick. Let's start off by having 30-50 responses. The distributor can get Toyota keys and other keys as well. Let me know what you need! They will be going for $35 shipped. Email me at WIILLLAM@AOL.COM, or shoot me an IM at WIILLLAM

I'd like one but heard that the first batch was poor - a second batch was made with extra screws are these the ones with the screws?

[Buckeye]

I know these are made brand new.. don't know about any previous bad batch?

[BrianGT4]

2 for me as discussed

[Supersprynt]

ToyotaWorld has had a couple group buys from these and from the chatter around there people were having some issues with the first - nothing major just they broke apart. The second batch had 2 screws which made them stronger.

Do you have affiliation with the previous group buys?

[RedSunCelica]

[BLINKYxMUNKEY]

[XxAxnCelica95xX]

$35.00 shipped.. for a KEY!!! this is a groub buy... isnt their any deal involved... That is a total rip off when the bidding starts at $19.00 with a $4 shipping charge on ebay...

There must be other places on the internet where you can get these alot cheaper... Do you guys do no research before pulling $35.00 out of your pocket for a fancy key?

There you go again... another $19.00 key.

The idea of a group buy is getting something cheaper than retail because it is being ordered in bulk.

Kind of funny, but both of those links are for the exact same key. The second website links to that eBay auction when you click "more info".

Not dissing the good find though. I would be in the GB but I can't justify spending that much on a key.

[rjbibeau]

count me in i love the vw keys

[Sev408]

well if you look at the buy it now price on ebay its going for $34.99 so this is technicly a group buy with a discount.

[Hanyo]

well its not really a discount Sev408. Again.. the point of a group buy is the buy in bulk.
When you can buy one single key for the same price as a group buy, the point of buying in bulk is lost.

If you bid for that key on ebay for 20 bucks plus shipping, the total will be $24 dollars. If the ebay seller can still make a profit at that price then that means the dealer can offer an even lower price since we are buying in bulk.

I dont know if this goes as an offence and be labled on the bad seller list. Since the group buy is in essence a rip off. I'll be waiting for a responce from Buckeye to justify himself.

[neoklis]

I would be in if the price was around $20. $35 is way too much. If anybody has any time and computer skills you could find these directly in the Asia market for half the price i believe.

Go ahead and bid on ONE key on Ebay. I've seen these keys go for upwards of around 50 dollars sold by themselves. Group buys on MR2OC.com have gone for the same price, one was just going on for $37 shipped. So go ahead and bid.

Yes, the keys do flip out like a switchblade. They lock inside and flip out with the push of a button. I need a name, email, and what brand of key you want, pretty much everything except Ford and Mazda is available.

Email me at WIILLLAM@AOL.COM...

PS: No affiliation with previous group buys. I have talked to the guy who used to have one on MR2OC. He confirmed there was a bad batch at first and that new batches are now available. Something about a screw being loose in the first ones made. THESE ARE THE SECOND BATCH, recalled if ya will =)
