    Looks nice. Blue paint on Dino script has clearly worn off over time, hopefully due to frequent use.

    Cheers...Keith

    very few originals, i have one NOS !! they went all the way up into the thousand range (for a mint/NOS) during the bubble, but now have come crashing down, still not cheap. if a 70's prancing horse key fob which was not limited can fetch 200-275 then this is more how much ? who knows.

    I happen to have some rather fairly priced tulips, if anyone is interested. If you must ask "How much?", you can't afford them.

    based on condition, i would say somewhere between $500-700 depending on the day

    i wouldn't say they have come crashing down. when is the last time a legit fob was on ebay? it has been a pretty long time

    I would disagree on the above valuations because I don't believe original Dino accessories parallel the car prices. In fact, I think they lead the car prices because the pool of buyers is already established between Dino owners and those who collect Dino items. In addition, it almost appears that Dino car prices are on the rise.

    For decades sellers and dealers have been removing "the goodies" when they sell a Dino (because the items are so profitable as individual after-sales) so there are a lot of owners without these items.

    Here's some interesting photos I took, the lower left two are original Dino fobs

    The Loriolli fob is appropriate for your car, there never was a boxer specific fob

    Higher.
    Especially if two bidders are highly motivated and need it then I could see it going quite high because they are so rare.


    Be sure and copy the cut codes stamped on the side of the keys and put that info in a safe place

    Not that I want to be a stick in the mud, or otherwise, but, when I posted that I had a SAFE key for sale on e-bay, I was "deleted". So, what's the policy?
    I wish it would be slightly clearer, or maybe it is, and I just don't know it. I do not think we are what you call "commercial" types...Tom, need not apply...
    And, if you post that you have an item "for sale on that section", few people look at it, unless you are killing time at xyz airport. I think individual, non-commercial sales of whatever, should be able to go to the appropriate car model.
    Just a thought, not a "coup d'etat".
    Regards, Alberto
