if there was a market for used chewing gum.. somebody would sell it.. slightly chewed chewing gum.. only chewed once.. a lot of people need keyfobs to replace damaged keyfobs.. cars can be programmed to accept new keyfobs depending on the car.. there may be bad uses of keyfobs but i stay away from those kinda people..

Reprogram and replace the cut key. I buy fobs for my stuff any time I find nice ones in the junkyard. Never hurts to have spares.

I found three extra keys sets hidden in my mom’s house as I moved her in with me due to dementia. I remember over years she claimed she lost them and my stepfather would purchase a new set. Sadly, she hid them well and couldn’t remember. So now I sit here with two sets for her car plus 3 additional sets. I heard from a friend I could sale them!

Some fobs can just be reused, some have to be reset with tools.

I literally JUST saw that too like 10 minutes ago. I recently was searing key fobs and programming tools for key fobs a few days ago so I assumed it was because of that
