A cheap way to duplicate car keys/fobs. Car companies charge well over $300 so it seems there would be a huge margin.

I recently bought a chipped key and key fob for my '07 Toyota and programmed them myself ($29). I had the local hardware store cut the key for $5, which made the total cost $34. The dealership wanted $50 to program both of them. So, worst case for me was $84 if I needed dealer to program.

Edit to add: Have you checked for your make and model on Amazon?
