Default Key cutting in Dallas?

Bought a new master remote on ebay since it's less than half of the cost of the dealer. Well I tried Sewell and they wont cut the key and Park Place says they won't cut it if it's not a genuine Lexus key. Any ideas? I tried A-1 Locksmith in Plano and they can't do it.

Really don't want to pay $200 for a stupid key from the dealer.

This may be a longshot, but you might call Davenport Motor Company in Plano and see what they suggest.

Do you need it cut by the code (or VIN) or do you have a 2nd Master for the locksmith to go by?
If you have one for him to duplicate then Kellan's can cut the key here in the Dallas area.

I used www.keylessride.com and found a locksmith just down the street from my office that can cut it. Cost is $30. Thanks to all for the help.
