Default Most Expensive Non-Electronic Key Fob Ever?

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/RSKEYSTRAP.html

Wow! $0.10 Worth of materials - yours for only $74.95! I read recently that Porsche makes on average $28,000 profit on each car they sell - I think they are going for an even higher profit margin on these.

The really scary thought though is that there are consumers that would pay that much.

As long as one-upmanship exists amongst consumers, stuff like that will sell.

That is a bit over the top pricing for something so basic. You can have this made at the local flea market for a few bucks. But it wouldn't be OEM porsche material.

Wow, I just got one of those attached to the top of the canister with the Boxster Spyder poster inside.

Anyone else get that poster, pretty nice.

Wow - If the canister that holds the poster has a strap that costs $75, Id love to know the price of the poster.

That's actually how I found the key fob. I was looking at the general DIY forum and someone on there posted a DIY for those door pulls and had a link to the kit at Suncoast - and there was the key fob right at the bottom.
