$200 isn't bad for something bespoke and handmade. A good dildo of similar quality that's mass produced is $50, not to mention that Bad Dragon usually has unique coloring and can be made huge.

    A maxed out macbook costs about 17 times more than that toy, and a premium car is no less than 150 times the cost. You are way, way off on your comparisons.

    That being said, these dildos ARE luxury items. These are custom made to order dildos and get freakishly big, they are NOT your average sex toy, and the price reflects that. People aren't paying $200 for just any dildo, they're paying $200 for a Bad Dragon dildo.

    I agree with you (that they are a luxury purchase), but the point I was trying to get across is that they are worth their cost (in silicone + labor), unlike the items you pointed out which come with famously generous margins.

    They're a bit up there in terms of pricing, but they're good quality. Last I checked them out, Masterwork Toys on Etsy had better prices, but quality is comparable. Aesthetically I much prefer the one I have from them, it's just a bit large. They've since introduced sizing options though!

    If you're in the EU you'll also face import costs though. A $300 order from Bad Dragon can easily become a $500 with import fees. Speaking from experience.
