Some loser(s) have been trying to sell these things on Ebay for $25-$50 for awhile now. I'm sorry, but even if I had money coming out my a**, I still wouldn't pay $50 for it unless there was a diamond-studded gold nugget attached to it! What a waste of a good wheel. WAIT! I know what I'll do! I'll attach a keychain to a whole 1/18 Grand Sport and sell it for $300!!! If it sells, just think of what a 1:1 GS with a keychain would fetch!

Why in the world would any ebay seller make their feedback rating private??
Must be hiding more than the car bodies.
Think I'll ask him if he has any parts for sale !!

Think about it for a sec- that's a GREAT idea! Only thing screwing him is that people (or at least SOME people) know what he is trying to do, and won't pay that kind of money. Also, the usage of the word "rare" isn't right. Now, if he had those suckers custom molded for the intent of making keychains, and sold them for $4.99, he would be on to something great. I'm all for the entreprenurial spirit, but then again ripping people off is not cool. If he charged a few dollars it would be a neat gimmick to turn a buck.

:iagree:
Trying to pass this off as "rare" and not a custom is clearly deceiving the buyer. If I remember correctly this guy was attaching Johnny Lightning cars to key chains and selling them for $50 or so on ebay not too long ago. :eek: :bs

Again, I hand it to him for trying. However, I hope noone is stupid enough to buy that firebird keychain...
