Hi All
I agree up to a point. As an E-Stim Manufacturer we do try to keep our prices low, but we still nedd to make some form of profit. We have overheads- staff, advertising etc, so paying $30 for something that we can buy for $20 is generally acceptable. The consumer does have the choice to go elsewhere.. if you can but it for $20...don't moan..buy it!!! I do agree that some companies 'take the piss'. We know how much it costs to buy wholesale a cheap TENS unit.. and some companies seem to think that the fetish/adult market in general is a bottomless pit when it comes to gullable buyers.. and there will always be some.. but at the end of the day the compnaies vanish as people become educated. If you can produce a product at the price people are prepared to pay (as opposed to forced to pay), and people buy it then you are doing the right thing.
