What do you think the deal is with the WIDE pricing for glass toys?

They are all the same material obviously and some are fancier than others but sometimes two can look exactly the same and be a difference of $200.

I recently bought TWO glass toys for a total of $20 and that included shipping.

It's mostly a question of process (how decorated is the toy, how complex is it to make the decoration, is it handmade, where is it made), but at the extreme low end there is a bit of material difference - tempered soda/lime glass vs. borosilicate glass.

I'd agree with that. I'd wanted a glass toy for a long time and didn't want to shell out the big bucks for it. I spent about $28 dollars for a similar toy to the one you linked. It's fabulous.

It all depends on the company selling them.
Phallix is extremely expensive, but Don Wands has great prices.

No difference in quality of glass, just simply what the seller thinks the best way to make a profit is (either really high prices with less sales, or lower prices with more sales)

Oops, I ment the manufacturer, not the seller. The seller just prices the item based on what it costs them to buy it from the manufacturer.

Until you hold a high end piece of glass in your hand and actually look at the artistic, hand made details, ya just won't get it.

It's like comparing the Nea to a standard beige bullet. Sure, they both get you off and they're both plastic. But the perks of a Nea -- or, say, a gorgeously swirled glass piece -- make it worth the price if aesthetics and quality are important to you.

Well, the gold fumed glass dildos by phallix do have...well...gold in them. I've yet to see that from Don Wands. Probably a big contributing factor to the price difference.

I love glass toys and the price comes into play with the craftmanship of the toy. Phallix makes beautiful pieces and when put side to side with other glass toys you can tell the difference in the type of toy you are getting. Don't forget you are buying a toy made of glass and in the end quality matters.

I have a few middle of the road priced glass toys, personally I'd love to own some of the insanely expensive ones... maybe I'll just have to whine at my girlfriend about our upcoming anniversary
