[dmx]

yupe. someone bloody jumped the bid from $5.00 to $15.00. make me loss $10.00

assume that's from seller "fake" bid (other ebay account)
i show the man my oem key, and he said about 16.50. not sure after i bring the flip key to him next.

either way you still got a good deal and as i stated in the the past the seller has really good customer service.

also the guy you went to is he a locksmith? the reason why i as is that he is charging a really good price but if his not a locksmith i would be careful as the last thing you want to do is let him cut the key wrong in which case you can't go back and have a dud key

locksmith ? i just went to keycut man (shop in middle of the mall) who do the cutting for holden (include immobilizer) and others car.
is he categorize as a locksmith ?
he said he can do it, and have the machine to do it. need some advise from u mate, cheers

if he does key cuts for holdens and stated that he has the machine to cut the key then it should be ok, i know some locksmiths that have stores in shopping centres such as bankstown square.

for me i go to a locksmith to get my key cuts as i know security is their business, they sell security products like safes and other security products.

they know how key barrels work as they can pick up a lock, cut a new key without the original key, set a blank barrel to suit an exisitng key etc. so they know how precise keys need to be.

they just have more knowledge than just say a hardware store that just puts the original key in the machine and hit the start button

You could bid or just pay $30 buy it now if you don't want the hassle. I would pay the extra $9 with a peace of mind =D

first, thought just about $5+$5, and only 1hour left, and who knows jumped from 5 to 15 straight away, not even climb to $6 or $8 and my "emotion" already in there to "fight"

alright, i know where to go. locksmith that have a "proper" shop who can "change" the padlock combination barrel to make a key to suit. will go tomorrow to get some quote, cheers mate

^ if i was you i could ask that guy that gave you the quote as he could be a locksmith. then you save some cash for the key cut.

good luck and let me know how you go when you get the key and get it cut

[longers]

hahaha
sucks for me i payed close to 85bucks inc postage
consider you guys lucky then
not quite sure about the kiosk thing...rather go to a professional locksmith
then let them cut it wrong...and then have to do the whole process again
i say better be safe than sorry
