    I told you they were "old school".

    But what's the problem with sending a key by mail? Do you expect me to fly to the U.S or Australia with a copy of the key and steel the car?

    Well if that's your concern you could rent a p.o box at your local post office and I will send the keys there - then I don't know your name nor your address.

    As I said before: This is what I can offer - a little help, because I thought that's what a forum is for.

    Hi Peter,

    @ Peter Tabmov: Sorry, uncut SIPEA NEIMAN not available.

    @all: anyone else still waiting for an answer to their email? one member asked me to visit the locksmith because he didn' receive an answer yet. it looks like the locksmith isn' really happy about all those inquiries - like I said "old school".
    He was very happy, when he handed over the key (@ erwin123: PM me your address)
    in return for cash ......

    Simple, the key could get lost in the mail on the way there, or both keys could get lost on the way back.

    I really love these cars and maybe I'm missing the point but I don't think I'd pay anything like that for a key. I didn't have spares for either of my cars so asked my friend Dave (who has shoe repairers and does key cutting) to source me some keys.

    It took him a few days but he came back with perfectly cut and fully working keys for both cars for zero cost (he's a good friend!).

    Maybe if these cars become worth Daytona money I'll regret not spending the money on a key but until then I'll manage with some cheap imitations.

    to duplicate an old key is no act of wizardry.
    the point you are missing is that I found a locksmith here in Vienna who still has uncut neiman keys in stock (only 3 left).
    a duplicate of your key will cost you 18 euros (about 22,50 USD) - not 195 USD (or more) - which I think is a more than decent price for an original ferrari key.

    Nice of you to snatch them all up. I guess I won't be stopping at this locksmith's shop on my next Vienna trip.

    @ Sigmacars ---

    Not sure Ross meant that as a compliment.

    So, what started out as member sharing a great find with everyone so they could benefit, ended with another member opportunistically taking advantage of the situation in order to try to make a fast, and an egregious, profit on Ebay ? how nice :(

    Elasto,

    I wish I had found this thread earlier! Hopefully you can find another old time with more key for us all! :) I would have gladly sent you my key mailing address and whatever you needed to cover your costs!
