Prices
« on: August 11, 2009, 05:03:39 PM »
Just wondering why some of the prices of Meiki and Tenga are more than other sites. For example I found the Meiki Maria Ozawa at $60 on one site. Anyone else searched for them and found better deals? So far, I think Tenga is the only product here that is the cheapest anywhere. I found the Tenga Flip hole to be $60 on one site. Also other Onaholes that are alot cheaper including Meiki Up and Down which are $70 on some sites. All this time I thought Toydemon was the best, but it seems there are other sites for certain toys that have better deals. Althought I gotta hand it to Toydemon. Tenga, the Meiki Nao, the Meiki Hip, along with Seventeen, and the new ones are only found(in good deals) here.

I think the prices are higher because the items are imported, and you don't have to deal with international shipping. Most of the other sites I checked out before I found ToyDemon the cost would have been the same with the international shipping, plus the wait would have been a lot longer.

I've been to many sites with the same products...and it seems that toydemon is a little bit higher due to the imported cost. I would rather buy it here because it's shipped from the states, which means we get it faster..and also if there was a defect, we dont have to pay international shipping to ship it back to the sites from japan...  

I've also noticed from awhile back that some of the sites from Japan originally priced their products much higher than toydemon, and lowered the pricing after toydemon started to carry those toys.

hehehe, i wouldn't want to be in Metamorphesis's situation, waiting for a products for weeks from a hongkong store  :P

Waiting weeks for a new toy has got to be rough! I usually hold off on any sex or masturbation when I order a new toy until its delivered too build up excitement and pleasure. I couldn't imagine waiting for weeks.

Edited my post. I found a fliphole for $60.

I think everyone knows the site I'm talking about without me advertising. think about a site as good as toydemon that imports jap toys and you'll know.

EDIT: I completely take back what I said. The site sells Tenga's for 10 fricken bucks. And it sells the same Elder/Younger Sister" products cheaper as well. I'm sorry Toydemon but wow, those prices are better. I have to admit. That doesn't mean I'll switch sides and since I don't want to adveritse, I'll leave it up for people to find it but those are some magor savings with the same quality as Toydemon.

As far as I know, ToyDemon is the only store I've found with these products that ships FROM the USA. I bought my Maria Meiki from "other sites" that are well known and it was yes, $60, but shipping was like $30 because it was by EMS from Japan. Unless you can find another store that sells for that low and it's shipped from WITHIN the USA, it's going to kill your deal due to airmail costs. Not to mention you have to deal with customs and other problems that might crop up unexpectedly if you're doing airmail from Japan. This includes J-list, Kanojo, Wackyoutlets, etc - they are all shipped FROM JAPAN.

I know those sites you mentioned, but this store imports from Japan as well. Stationed right here in the USA.

btw I've used those sites you mentioned before...

The shipping is expensive but all together it is still cheaper than Toydemon. But even still this site I found is cheaper and still imports.

what do you think koikoi? Still worth it? lol

I'm actually familiar with this site as my job deals with importing/exporting goods, alot of it from China - you do understand it is a mainly business to business wholesale site with MOQ's right?

I even see the fake chinese Tenga onacups on there haha. Didn't think you could actually purchase them.

There are number of factor that goes into our pricing. The basic factor is our cost. We do things legally which drive up cost. There are customs' duty and import costs which others illegally sidesteps. Our cost on some stuff even goes above what you might be able to get in retail Japan.

There are also certain pricing requirements on some items we have to follow while others ignore them. We are actually legally bind on things that others violate since they may not directly deal with the product maker.

We have since our time at the very beginning set a fair price for our items. We took in the lost when the American Dollar crashed 30% against the Yen months ago. We are aware that since that time many other places have calculate and match their products' total cost to ours. We believe firmly in bringing the best products to our customers with competitive prices along with a customer service that match the quality of those products.

I agree with Koikoi on this matter.

I really would rather not have to deal with customs or importing anything. Buying from ToyDemon gets me the product faster and I can return it if it's DOA or anything like that. I also like the fact that we have somewhat of a small community here and ToyDemon inputs a lot to help everyone out.

That said, if you wouldn't mind pming me the site, I'd like to take a look at it as well.

hehehe.. yes..the prices are a little cheaper on it, but that's about it.. it does not include importing cost that you will have to deal with...and US customs etc etc. I think an avg person probably will not want to deal with all those hassle heh.  plus also as koikoi mentioned..there's the MOQ issue also.
