The exception: a dude in Switzerland bought some of my toys along with a bunch of others from other independent makers, then sold them as his own with a ridiculous mark-up. I was kind of fascinated, really - I knew people had been selling my toys used for more than I charged, but this dude was actually claiming he made all these toys. What the hell was his endgame? He could only get one of each to sell, a bunch of other people C&D'd him, and nobody will ever make a toy for him again.

It's because things in Switzerland generally cost at least 2-3x what they cost in the US and based on what you said you charged, I can imagine he made a good profit. Example, here's a non-vibrating dildo for about $79 (links are NWS, obviously): http://www.planetlove.ch/dildo-the-boss/#prettyPhoto Maybe price inflation isn't as extreme with sex toys as it is with coffee and eating out though, cos here's the same toy for $60 at a sex shop in SF: http://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV12869/fun-factory/boss-silicone-dildo Either way, shoppers in Switzerland are loving rubes and get taken to the cleaners all the drat time so dude probably had no trouble making money on hand-made special snowflake sex toys.
