Jopen Prices

Did the prices on the Jopen toys go up recently, or were they on special before? I was thinking about picking up the Vr2 for valentines day, but somehow I remember it being around $115, and now it's up to around $145. Am I crazy?

Nope you are not crazy they did jump big time! They now cost more than in my local brick and mortar store. I was going to get one as well, but not at these prices.

I think it would definitely work with the Valentine's day coupon.

Ditto. Even with the v-day coupon, my girlfriend would kill me if she found out I spent that much on a vibrator instead of... like... a coffee table or... rent.

Even with a 30% off buyout discount, it's only $12 less than the original price. SO depressing because I thought the original price was tempting enough for me to wishlist. It's less expensive on another site so I guess I might buy it there if I decide to get it but I'd rather not get it at all than betray Eden, in a way.

I thought I was seeing things. Since there are so many varieties, I thought maybe I just got prices mixed up. That's stinky! Prices will sometimes do that on the site though. They can go the opposite way too! The Isis and Chanrda used to be $79.99 when I got them and now they are $29.99. And the Whomolia used to be about a hundred and its $59.99 last I checked. So...save up, wait it out, or bite the bullet I'll be waiting to see more reviews. For a toy that expensive, I want reviews first. I'll buy it at that price, but it's gotta look worth it.

It's true that they do go up and down, but they don't usually increase or decrease so soon after release... I did the math (and checked it, to make sure my math deficiencies weren't tricking me) and it's a 25% increase in a month (I checked the forum, and the posts announcing them are from a month ago)...

Which is really significant statistically. I mean, I know this is a business and prices DO rise because of gas or bad weather, and whatnot but 25%? Ow.

I have seen price adjustments soon after release a few times. It's not always up though. It is a lot I agree. Other online prices I found range from $96.95-$212.99. I don't shop anywhere but eden though, so I'll just wait for review to justify the price. You can't put a price on a shop you can trust!

My guess is that demand was incredibly high at the lower price, so the company raised the price to lower demand to what they could supply, or the introductory price was just a sort of test to gauge interest. There's nothing wrong with that, it's a smart business decision. I'm just disappointed because I'm one of the people who was cut out by the price adjustment. I'm sure the company will find some kind of middle-ground on the pricing, or it will go down once it's been out a while and all the people who were willing to pay the higher price already own one.

If nothing else, as technology evolves and new products emerge, the prices of older toys drop (just think about all the other toy prices that have dropped or even been substantially significantly cut a few months after release! Or even cell phone prices that drop after a few months of release!)

It's not that I don't believe the prices will be reduced to the original level again shortly or that I think the price increase is unfair, but more that the price went up so much at once. That, and I'm sad I can no longer afford to purchase it, and I have serious Jopen lust.

Hm. I thought them to be a bit too expensive for my wallet as things were.

Geez, well I guess I won't be getting many of them then. I thought I saw the Vr10, which was the main one I was eyeing up, cheaper at first. Thought I must have needed glasses.

There's no way in hell that I'm paying over $200 (US mind you) for a rabbit!

The fact that they are allllllll the same color at those prices pushes them to the bottom of my wishlist!.

I think That Guy is right about the reason for the price jump.

The prices are high, but in my opinion, V26 is worth it. Its about the same price as Ina and much much nicer.

I can't bring myself to shell out that much money for a toy. What I usually do for the bigger ticket items I want is save up points, and wait for a coupon. I buy little things to get me buy in the mean time

I was going to buy this one until the price went up. I am with other people I have seen it below 90 at other stores but I really trust Eden and not sure about the other places. Really wish it would go down so I could get it.

The Jopen range look like really high quality toys but yes the price does seem high. You do have to pay for quality but I think there are some great toys for a lot less money as well.

I was planning on picking up the Vr1 in the next couple of days, been saving points to bring it down to a reasonable price. I was so sad today when I saw that the price jumped by 40$.
It is now at a price that I definitely cannot afford it. I don't understand. EF's prices are so good on many items, cheaper than most any other site I look at. But I'm not sure I can swing paying an extra 60$ for an item just so I can purchase it from here. And this makes me sad. =(

I'd like the VR10 but $232! Yikes...Hopefully by the time I have enough GC's saved up the price will go down.

that's crazy! Maybe you could even find it somewhere else for cheaper? Sex toys are definitely on other sites for less.. or maybe even more.

They did. Always happens when a 'holiday' comes around. I mean, even the shipping went from $25+ for free shipping, to $35+ for free shipping now. Makes it really hard for me to get individual orders for my friend's V-day gifts and sent to them. I now have to combine orders, and then drive to drop off their gifts, which is kind of hard, considering one is at college which is a 4 hour drive from here...
