Who think that AB market is little over price stuff

I want knoow what other think do you think the AB market little over price .I mean god adult size baby funiture is like $1000.00 US dollars and some AB clothes cost as any where 40-150 uS dollars just for one outfit it crazy.

what do you all think is AB online shop over price goods or are that at the right price.

Yes unfortunately the AB outfits are more expensive and a lot of the times less durable than store bought clothing, I try to balance price vs reward and I shy away from the cheapest AB clothes out there. As far as furniture, try to find products that suit your needs in the 'normal' market or adapt something. Or if you can swing it, try making furniture that fits you.

High prices are a function of demand. If as many people bought adult baby sized cribs as bought regular baby cribs, the prices would be comparable, taking into account that the AB crib would require more materials to make it. The same goes for AB clothing. There is limited demand, so these items are specialty items.

i know i at one time made duable adult bibs for like $4.00 a bib for longs. it probley batter to make your own you are the know one who know how duable and strong they will have to be for you. but online store are ok but i would use them on used furniture unles you know they would only sell good and brand new stuff. not something that could break in a few weeks or months.

Yeah right is spupply and A demand thing but I mean 84 dollars or even 50 for one onesies that mmaybe took that crazy it cost maybe 20 dollars to make I'll most one is 30.00 dolllars

same crib maybe cost them about 100 or 200 to make sell it like 1500 that way too much of a profit.

It's the same over here i the UK, any that is AB related tends to attract a very high pice tag ---- I think that it is so unfair.

There are places in europe that do sell stuff cheaper, and I have found a place in the UK that sells trainer pants and terry pants at a reasonable price. They sell plastic pants at a good price too, so is their terry toweling folding nappies but their disposables are quite expensive.

I buy my dispoables from a place called Dorset Nursing. check it out on the web. :😃

Yeah it all around the world that the AB market charges everything high. I think the AB community need to boycott this shop that over prices all us for the AB goods.Maybe than that will drop there prices A little so there products are at A reasonable price.

I had bought a onsie from DPF years ago and then it was $70 and Iam Canadian and back then the Canadian dollar was much lower thas the US dollar. So unless I know soneone that would take my measurements and sew Ab clothing for me I'm kinda out of luck

There are good arguments on both sides to this. And some good points already have been made here. Some things to consider, there are some people out there who make cheap stuff and are out to do one thing, make a buck, or pound whatever the case. But there are also other great people who know what they are doing, and can do it well. You have to take into account, not only what a piece of cloth, or starting material would cost, but also the tools needed to bring something together. Lets say a sewing machine, a good sewing machine will cost you good money, and just one machine don't do it all. There are other machines you need to do embroidery, and to do Segre seems (seems that don't pull apart). You also need the room to lay these projects out. And many times when you buy stock, you have to buy in some bulk, not just one piece. For that you need to lay out money up front. Now, what about a persons time, what is that worth? I know I wouldn't want to put a garment together and have it take me 4 hours work, and get maybe $2 an hour for it. There are many things that make up that price you see.

All that being said, you also have to be a smart shopper. When you find something you like, look around and see if someone has something like it for less. Get to know who you buy from as well, do some home work on them. Do they sell on ebay, do they have a good rating, do they sell lots of merchandise, check web sites like this one, see if people know of them and if they had good experience with them. Find out if you'll get your money's worth!!!

Good on you Luvsit, I had a baby dress made for me at a dress makers shoppe and she took 3 weeks to do it and charged me 250.00 dollars after I bought all the material. I then decided to make my own and it took me a lot of time and you may guess that it wasn't the same quality as the first one.

I just got done making a rocking horse and that took about 8 hours and the wood only comes in 8 foot lengths. So , this horse is either 8' tall and 8' long , or there will be wasted wood. But still to make it the wood had to be bought. Ho and then there is the trial and airer thing to factor in. In making the rockers I had to try three times to get the right curve . It's not like one could just look up this information, "How much curve should an AB rocking horse rocker have ?

I agree that allot of what you buy in a fetish market seems overpriced. I probably have a first hand knowledge of this since I sew cloth diapers, AB clothes and blankies. Materials are very high and since each item is made custom, there is time and experience to consider above the fabric cost. I feel that if you have a good person making quality items, you should be willing to pay the price.

It has been said, " A cheap pizza is just a cheap pizza!"

Its a racket man. Either don't pay the money or suck it up. Its not like we can complain to the better business bureau or something.

IMO its all bout the supply and demand...

you have the demand for it they have the supply and since they demand is a bit low but always remaining they can up the price cus tbqh where else are you gona get adult sized baby furniture.

This isn't just for the AB fetish market, all of the fetish market is specialized products. So you will have to pay good money if you want quality. Just look at Bondage items, ya sure there is some cheap stuff out there, but good luck lasting you maybe a month. If you buy for example a quality leather whip it will last you a very long time, but you can also get cheap ones that depending on how often it is used last you a couple months.

This stuff just isn't mainstream, so for quality you just have to cough up the dough for quality items or deal with low quality stuff that is going to break fast.

Free? keep on dreaming hitman. Free is not going to happen if our suppliers want to stay in business. Luvs it has explained specialty marketing quite well. And if you are not making very many units the same size, you need to set up all over again for each change. That = $.

I, for one, do not want my diaper supplier out of business. I like diapers. I am not into other AB stuff but can understand the desire and therefore the cost. So check references before you buy.

When I first started buying my plasticpants and outfits on ebay was pretty reasonable but yes it has gotten out of hand but hasen't everything
