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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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. =(
