Best price for new key fob in SoCal

My local dealer (Manhattan Beach) wants to charge me $230 for a new fob and blade. After doing searches on this forum, it's unclear to me what the going price should be but I would imagine this is a ripoff. There was a thread going about something in the ~$150 range. If anyone has feedback on what they paid, please let me know. I don't mind paying $230 if that's what is the going rate but I don't want to be the sucker that overpays either.
