I have become extremely snobbish. The first toy I ever bought was a hard plastic vibrator, I would never use that (let alone orgasm from it) nowadays. I think being on EF for a year+ has definitely helped out my tastes. I only buy certain materials and my fave brands are...
Aslan
Coquette
Seven 'til Midnight
njoy
Tantus
Jopen
SSA Glass

But I don't think it is always about money. I mean I have all the icicles and the average ones run me about 20ish bucks. I don't think they are super pricey items, but they are of high quality.
For any vibes though, I definitely agree. I would rather have one great silicone vibe than 20 shitty ones. Easier to keep clean too!
For BDSM gear, I am the ultimate snob. Unless it is simple and reusable (DIY items), then it must be high quality. The whips and floggers on EF are mostly geared towards beginners though, so I can see why most of them aren't my favorite brands. I love the Aslan products on here, and bought the JackBoot Paddle just to have because it is adorable- not for actual use. It is a bit flimsy.
