Default What are OEM TPMS worth?

I bought a set of wheels that came off a GS300, these wheels aren't going on a lexus so the TPMS is useless to me and I'd refer to put my black Rays valve stems in.

What are they worth in the used market? I don't ever see them for sale.

They sell brand new for around $50 (for a set of 4) on eBay... so, not a whole lot. Also taking into consideration if they are on factory 06 rims they are probably more than half way through their useful lifespan.

They aren't they were on aftermarket wheels with that saw maybe 5k and were bought specifically for them. So they are new.

Would $100 be a reasonable price in your opinion?

Would you pay $100 for a slightly used item when you could buy a brand new one for $52?

I bought two sets from eBay, Toyota had no problems programming either set of them. Yes they are the same thing you get from the Lexus dealership for hundreds of dollars.

keep in mind though not all tpms are compatible for all Lexus vehicles. The above ebay link only works with the GS450h.

Not really true. That link will work with all 3GS, 2IS, many Toyota models etc. etc. They are all the same.
