    where to sell old key fobs

    I was reading old thread jenkins1997 about selling old key fob remotes. Is that company cashforkeyless.com still in business?

    Did you try the site?



    You should if you haven't.

    This is my good deed for the day.

    Lot of 23 Misc Key Fobs | eBay
    for $122.50 for 23 of them.
    And no this isn't my auction.

    Any of those sites buying them pay you pennies on the $.
    You are almost always better off selling them in bulk on eBay.

    Yup.. A few summers ago I got a bucket full of them from a guy who had hoarded them for years. Sold a few on their own (a Corvette Fob netted nearly $100 bucks all by itself) but the "run of the mill" Chevy and Ford Fobs.. went in a "lot" and all went "bye bye" rather quickly!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I didn't say it was the best option.

    I was trying to be nice in saying..."Why didn't you just visit the site?".



    An I agree withe pennies on the dollar thing, it's very similar to certain companies who buy cell phones/gold/silver/etc.

    They really get my goat...

    @CaptialRecovery I normally leave the pics to Hobo, Jimi, an the rest of my Cooler Pullers. Now quotes and weird ass taglines....That's 100% mine. Plus...I already do a bang up job of derailing threads without meaning to, could you imagine the chaos in every thread I'd post in? The people can't handle that much goat.

    However...

    I hate to see anyone be disappointed...so..I give you..

    An this is what happens when Hobo hears a Goat pic needs posted..




    @everyone else...Blame Captial for this. I didn't want him to be sad.

    Unless you own a wrecking yard or go around stealing everyone's keys where would you find a load of key FOB's big enough to make anything.

    I always grab key fobs I find at the u-pick junkyard, usually they are all for sale up at the office but you still find them occasionally. have a pretty good box going to sell.

    as for the big $$, definitely the C4 vette fob's go for good money, and so do the big tire pressure monitors from those cars--the ones that are strapped inside the rim. I actually sold my fobs to a guy online for $200 years ago because I disabled the PASS feature since the computer was malfunctioning. guys that want their cars original/restored will pay good money for those...

    I only know vette's (cuz I have 3), but I bet a lot of the sports cars from the 90's or so bring good money for the early generation passive keyless entry fob's. problem is a lot of time when you find them you don't know what they are for. at least the corvette fob's have the flags on them to make it easy to ID.
