billy1234 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I have been looking around this afternoon for pretty summer dresses as we are expecting a heatwave and I only have one summer dress. I absolutely love some of the dresses I have seen, there is so much choice out there when you get looking but here's the hitch: Link to comment
Elfy Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Probably because a lot of it is hand made I guess, or at least it is so niche and sells in such a small amount that prices have to be high to make a profit on it. Link to comment
piggyinnappies Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I was lucky a few weeks ago. I bid on a dress and matching panties on eBay and got them for Link to comment
Repaid1 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I guess somewhat Elf, but it has been my experience over the last thirty years in this community that most are just taking advantage of us. I mean look on Ebay for what DD sells on his site. The prices are vastly different. And I am sure DD has got to be making a profit, however small. Luckily by my size being smaller and knowledge I have learned to buy used woman's or girls stuff off Ebay at a fraction of the cost of even store new. Then by my skills learned, modify them to toddler wear at a huge savings in most aspects. I see all to often on here posts like the OP. The simple thing is a used sewing machine would be the best investment towards having a complete Layette and wardrobe. Learning to sew is easy, and free classes are probably available in most towns.

PullUpDiaperLover Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I simply disagree. When you sell anything on a smaller scale it costs more. No one is getting rich selling ABDL stuff I assure you. Like any business there are over priced stores and cheaper ones. I find AB Universe and Big Tots the best priced and use them more often then say Armour Diapers which are priced way higher with shipping. Link to comment
kevindhca Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ha, tell that to Comcast, BP oil, delta airlines, and the numerous other big companies out there that keep gouging their customers while leaving Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I know they aren't "monopolies" per say, but they are big enough and have cornered the market in a lot of areas. And yes, I NEED a good internet connection for our school and work which has to get done at home (in addition to requiring a fast connection for the online gaming I want). I also NEED to fly to and from various cities (driving takes more time than I'm allowed), again for work and personal reasons. Then of course there is the need to drive to work to make those paychecks so I can eat and live. Mass transport isn't available in a way that would allow me to get to and from my home and work. Nor could I ride a bike or walk for that distance due to my disability. Link to comment
babytammyjean Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 specialized sissy outfits are for the most part hand made there for lower amount made, more time to produce and the cost of material greater too as not buying in bulk. Link to comment
Anael Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The simple answer is, "yes, there is gouging", but life (and buying AB/DL/Sissie stuff) never is. If a dress costs $20.00 (sorry, no currency pound sign on my American keyboard) it is that price because it was manufactured in large quantities, so the cost to make it was lower than a similar dress made one or just a dozen at a time.

DD5 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 My ex used to do a lot of sewing, and it can be expensive to make things by hand. Plus most sissy dresses use a lot of fabric, lace, ribbon, etc. Good quality fabric like that isn't cheap! Link to comment
