Living the real life under lock and key

For clarification purposes, I paid the $150 at the CBS website back in 2011 for my first Curve. That's the one that split. Just for fun, I bought a new Curve about 6 months ago, again from the CB-X website, not wanting to take a chance on getting a counterfeit. I paid $125 + tax.TwistedMister wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 8:00 am$154 direct from CB-X.WifeIsVanilla wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 7:21 am I split a real Curve years ago.

I am surprised and disappointed that, after all these years, CB-X hasn't done something to strengthen those "welds" along the seams.
I think it's relatively uncommon to get a reseller deal from CB-X. When I looked into it a while back, I don't think the discount was all that great. Anybody paying less than about $150 is probably not getting the Real Thing...especially if it is substantially less.
I'm not against a legit gripe about a product, but OP, you need to make sure you got a real one before you bash it. There have been a bunch of cheap fakes that broke and people bitched and it isn't right to bash based on the performance of a fake.
OK, that sounds about right.clearholytrainer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 2:49 am Not sure if my last response went through, but ill send it again. I bought the product from a well known and large retailer of "intimate items". I didn't buy it online, it was a brick and mortar retail store, and the consultant recommended the product. After looking back at the packaging and materials, I feel confident that the product was OEM and legitimate. I believe I paid about $175..
You must have caught a sale. My 3k was $150 in 2000, they have been holding the price pretty steady since then, with occasional sales. a $4 increase isn't too bad...as far as inflation goes...though it does make me wonder how much margin was built in. On the other hand, I think they were the first to come up with a design like this, and they must have had to purchase custom molding equipment that surely would not have been cheap...and would have had to be paid for before being able to take any profit.WifeIsVanilla wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 7:54 amFor clarification purposes, I paid the $150 at the CBS website back in 2011 for my first Curve.

I just checked the CB-X website, and the price is now indeed, $153.99, so there has been a recent price increase, perhaps more of the "transitory inflation" that Chairman Powell had been talking about?
