That is amazing. Do you have a link? It is not a big secret, I just called their corporate office and asked to speak with the marketing department. I was transferred around and then I was connected with an executive who spoke with me. Try it yourself.

Wierd that you would talk business with them to get them to advertise with adultdvdtalk, etc. I only see 9 posts under your name, and I apoligize if this sounds accusational, but your posts read like a schill for a company that either (A) sells product to Amazon, or (B) you work for amazon. Either way, I will reiterate that I think its vital for ADT members to be supportive of adultdvdtalk affiliated websites. Again, I am not trying to offend, its just how this post reads to me. Great post P-Knuckle! Actually, I think that ADE is a great company, in addition to their adult division they a...

Wow! This is really amazing. <link> $8.69 at Amazon for 36 while ADE charges $14.00 for 12 or $42.00 for 36. ADE is almost 5 TIMES mere expensive than Amazon.com. Same savings apply for different styles. There it is in black and white! edit: link updated Edited by - Drew Black on 11/29/2004 11:38:09 PM

Wrong, here is the <link> It's the same vibe, just a different color. ADE only sales the black one, and Amazon's black one is the same price. Amazon is probably overstocked on the colored one you linked to. Same with the lube...most of the other lube on Amazon seems to be priced about the same. I'm sure there are dozens of novelties on ADE that are currently on sale for a lot lower than you'd see them elsewhere - that's why it's good to shop around...but it doesn't mean one store is way overpriced and the other isn't. Yes, if you wished to purchase the Tantus Buzz in anot...

Hitachi Magic Wand Vibrator......Amazon $49.95...ADE $40. Amazon.com does not sell either product. What you are seeing are offers from associate stores that pay Amazon.com a fee to be listed on their site.

Wrong, here is the <link> Here is the <link> as compared to $14.00 at ADE I decided to call Amazon.com and was told that they were preparing to make a big move into adult products, I suggested to the person with whom I spoke that they consider advertising on aduldvdtalk and I also made the same suggestion in a follow up email to Jeff Bezos. I assume that adultdvdtalk would welcome Amazon.com as an advertiser. edit: links updated Edited by - Drew Black on 11/29/2004 11:43:07 PM

I almost decided not to make this post as I was a little embarrassed for ADE. When I ordered the Tantus Buzz I from Amazon.com I also ordered a 5 oz bottle of Astroglide for $8.79. ADE sells the same 5 oz bottle of Astroglide for $14.00 or 60% more than Amazon.com. I did a quick search and found the 5 oz bottle of Astroglide for sale at several sites in the low $9 range. These are very large differences in markups! A smart shopper is an informed shopper and I for one am very pleased that Amazon.com seems to be entering the adult market. Maybe AdultDVDTalk should contact Amazon.com and invite them to the site. P.S. Amazon.com also has a new search engine by the name of <link> which utilizes the Google search engine. If you register you...

But we have not "Stopped offering coupons" permanently, we're just trying something different. Well I guess that was the point of my post. You are selling the Tantus Dildo for $40.00 while Amazon.com is selling the same product for $29.95 or 25% less including free shipping! I also found this product at several sites priced at in the low 30 dollar range including free shipping plus a choice of colors while you are only offering the product in bl...

"Vegetarianism for me is about saying yes to things - even meat." - Coupling Well to be honest I have found ADE to have competitive prices, at least in the past. It does not take a lot of effort to compare prices on the internet and I do check. I also agree that ADE has always had good service but so do other retailers both those who advertise on AdultDVDTalk.com and elsewhere and nobody beats Amazon.com when it comes to service. It is just my opinion but it look to me like ADE is attempting to raise prices across the board so as to compensate ...

I was at adultdvdempire.com today and thought that I would buy the Tantus Buzz I dildo but the price at $40 seemed a little high and it was only available in black and not offered in the additional colors. I decided to do a search on Google and was amazed to find the same dildo for sale at Amazon.com of all places for only $29.95 plus Amazon.com offers free shipping. I used to like adultdvdempire.com but it seems like they are raising prices and have stopped offering coupons plus they seem to be narrowing their color selections. In the future, I will Google for prices before I order. Edited by - jacksonhole on Nov 24 2004
