Message $160 to $200. I'm not defending the price. But, here's an analogy. My brother is a comic collector, he has about 3000 of them. He bought 1st editions, #1 in the series of a number of comics for about $150 each, 20 years ago. He was recently offered $3000 to $4000 for his #1 series X-men comic. But, hey isn't it just a 50 cent comic. My point being, do you think that the Ti key is collectable and will it be of value in the future. This depends on a number of factors, one of the most important is if Nissan decides to produce them in numbers again, uncut. Other factors are:

1) how rare is it, imo, very rare.
2) is it high quality, imo, yes.
3) is it collectable, imo, yes sort of like a coin.
4) why is it valuable, imo, because the Z32 is held in such high esteem (who would care if you made a Ti key for a Sentra, Civic or Corolla)

So, I think that people are missing the point with the Ti key. It's not just a key, it's a rare collectable piece of Z32 history. And the bottom line is that these uncut Ti keys are selling for very high prices for the reasons that I've outlined. Would I buy one for $500, no thanks.

imho,
Aseem
