ah okay so you're a troll.

**** me for falling for it.

[Topre]

No, I'm totally serious. I saw them on a site where you must purchase in bulk going for $3 to $6 depending on how many you buy. At first I was like, who got that kind of money for that? Then I found eBay and saw the same exact sticks selling for over $30, so I said to myself "good money selling these sticks." Asked my parents to order some, and that was it.

[demik]

did they come with a bridge too?

[Topre]

They are suppose to come with a bridge as well? I only got ones that had knobs on them.

Edit: I would post some links, but I don't think it's appropriate for this forum. But a "Rabbit Vibrator" goes for $3.7~4.5 each from a certain retailer, and you can easily sell them for over $20 on eBay these days.

Edit again: Actually, I think I'll just add the links if anyone else wants to give the dildo market a shot. I stopped selling them because it was kind of awkward when friends came over and saw boxes of dildos. NOT SAFE FOR WORK: $3.70 to 4.50 each not including shipping. This person on eBay sells them for $27 shipped at about an average of one each day.

Edit again: I removed the links because I don't know if links to massagers are allowed on this forum. If anyone wants to take a look then go to Alibaba and eBay and just compare the prices.

I just hit 4k on my first car today...yaaa feels good

[SpAmRaY]

Wow I cam in here to read about cars and realized I could have been making some serious money. I'm in the wrong business......now to find a supplier and I'm sure with a few how to videos I'll be rolling in dough.

Congrats dubs!!

We recently rolled 25k on our 'new' vehicle and have only had it for a little over a year

The money isn't at eBay or selling online. You can make much better money selling locally, save on shipping because you can deliver it. I actually got a few dollar stores to carry a few of the cheaper toys. Male toys also sell very well. Talk to local shops and sell it to them, or find people who are willing to sell it on eBay for you. Easier and quicker money that way, I went through about 20,000 toys (male and female included) a month doing by supplying it to retailers locally.

either this is the truth or you're putting a lot of effort into this.  either way im entertained. 



as far as a SUV/crossover recommendation, i'd personally would go with a new forester or a Ford Edge.

I am 100% serious about getting rich from dildos.

right.

then act like you've been here before and stop asking stupid **** like  "do they even make good SUVs under 30k"

and you've already mentioned you drive a GL450. no need to repeat it every single time you post.

that is what im talking about when i say smug.

Alright, I'll admit I was trying a bit hard to derail this thread and acted like an ******* by doing that. The Juke is fine for it's price, other than it's looks. I personally rather have the Hyundai because of that. But the decent SUV for under 30k new is a serious question. By SUV, of course I don't mean a crossover. The Jeep Wrangler starts at $22k, but with options it would hit close if not more than $30k. Most other SUV's are over 30k after options as well. Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot starts at $29k. Crossovers seems to be a bit cheaper, but with options most if not all will also hit close to $30k+.

[Dubsgalore]

I wonder where you came from..

[Tarzan]

Hard to beat a Subaru Forester for a mid-size SUV.  Decent gas mileage, lots of room, reliable, cost is in your requested range, and if you ever do go offroad, it handles beautifully.  Turbo version adds power, but drops gas mileage pretty hard.

[Topre]

Isn't the Subaru Forester a crossover? I believe it's built on a car platform rather than a truck platform.

[Tarzan]

That's true, but stepping up to a truck-frame SUV adds quite a bit of weight.  And cost, less gas mileage, etc.  Depends on which factors you're considering as critical.  Off-road capability?  Get a Jeep.  Gas mileage?  VW Touareg diesel. (Also very nice on-road handling.)

You could go for a regular quad-cab or king-cab pickup, that would supply the truck frame, most of the room of a SUV.

I'm not looking for an SUV, I already have one. I was just wondering if there were any decent SUV's for under 30k. The only one I can think of is the Jeep Wrangler.

Diesels in general are much better for mileage though.

As with most things, I think it depends on how you define "decent."   

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/02/suvs/

For myself, I prioritized on-road handling, gas mileage, and cost as my top three factors.  Off-road capability was fourth, since I rarely get into the dirt, but in case I do hit some fire roads on the weekend, I wanted the SUV to handle medium obstacle and not puncture an oil pan.

I used to own a Wrangler, and although they are superb for off-roading, they are kind of primitive on paved roads.  Crappy gas mileage adds to the pain too.  But hey, it's got poser cred.

Well decent as in a car that works at least somewhat reliably with reasonable safety features, and handles alright. I would prioritize on-road handling as well. Gas mileage isn't that big of a deal in my opinion, mileage range on one tank is more important. That's why I love my 26.4 gallon/100 liter tank. The only off-roading capabilities I really use is pretty much for the snow. It's great to be able to drive on a foot of snow or a bit more at times without any problem.

but at least tone it down and stop trying to belittle people's choices (whether you mean to or not) because you can afford a 60k+ dollar car.

Actually no, I made most of my money by myself. The last time I ever used or asked my parents for money was during 5th grade.

Reselling dildo's in the 6th grade. Why didn't I think of this?

Well, this happened back in October:


So I got this to replace it:


The wrecked car was a 2003 GTI that no doubt saved my life from a combined ~60mph near head-on collision, so as if I weren't a VW fanboy enough.. I got another one. The folks at the dealership were astonished that I walked away from the wreck with relatively minor injuries.

[tjcaustin]

Last wreck I was in was in a passenger front collision (I was passenger) where we where hit by someone running a light going ~60.  Needless to say, it hit hard enough to shift the entire front clip, but from firewall back was unphased (other than airbags, of course).  The engineering that went into the crash zones of that car is incredible and if they weren't "so expensive", I know my roommate and myself would both own one.

Wow. I think the firewall was somewhat penetrated, as I do remember coming to a stop, doing a self-check to make sure I wasn't dead or broken, I felt the heat from the exhaust/engine. I had to fumble with the seat belt for a bit but got it undone. I was sort of panicked because the building heat inside the car led me to think things were about to get real hot =\

Two things:  Airbags are stupid hot when they deploy and you may have had the heater core penetrated and then hot coolant was leaking into the car.  The engine is on mounts engineered to sheer and drop the engine under the car so it doesn't end up through the firewall into your lap.

And they aren't really "new" as they're based off of euro models that have been around going on 5 years now.  Sure the focus ST doesn't have the hot volvo motor in it, but yeah, ford's been making dependable hot hatches for a while.
