Bingo. While we have the technology and the ability to cut keys by VIN, I have to be VERY careful with this. We have to have the customer here (so we can see their face), see their photo ID, and check the registration. Then everything gets photocopied and filed. If our store gets audited by the corporate checker-uppers, I can lose my job if things are not in order.
Something else to keep in mind is that we may not even be able to get the code from the VIN simply because iof the age of the car. The older ones are rolling out of the database and I'm not 100% certain I can always get a code for something as old as a '91.
Really, the best way around both of these issues is for you guys to provide your key code from the lock cylinder. That simplifies the requirements and makes me less likely to get fired for paperwork issues.
Regarding group buys - these keys are cheap anyway. There's not much point. We generally do sales (T-top seals are next, by the way) instead of group buys. Since you are buying direct from the seller (me) rather than representing a group of buyers there isn't as much benefit to a group buy as there would be if you were leveraging someone who doesn't normally sell to you.
