Here's what happened.
You didn't get an estimate in writing.
The locksmith sized you up as an easy score. Someone who has money and wouldn't put up a fight.
They picked a sky high number (in case you did end up haggling), but you paid it.

Hard.
OP, you ought to make a spare set of keys that you give to a trusted person who lives nearby... a friend and/or your super. Or hell, even if you hid it in a nearby park or something, it'd be a lifesaver if a situation like this ever came up again.

I still don't get why you didn't go back to the gym and get your keys. Even once I heard the initial $85, I'd have went back to the gym and returned unless it was several hours away which doesn't make sense given its your gym. And hell, had I decided to not go back and accept the $85 to come over, as soon as the asshole checked it out and uttered "plus $420 to..." I'd say "sorry to waste your time, here's the $85 for coming" and went to the gym no matter what.

If Christopher Walken can hide a watch surely KingGheedora can hide a tiny little key.

I don't think he wants to shove a key up his ass every day. :Q

I think you're wrong. He obviously likes taking it up the ass.

It would have taken me around four hours round trip to go back and get my keys. My keys are in my gym bag at my office, which is an hour away when the trains are running normal time, but at night the line near me slows to a crawl at this time of night (i got home at 10:45pm). I have to transfer two times, which also adds more wait.
