Prices? (Question to buyers and sellers)

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I was browsing some panty sites and it left me wondering about setting up the price. Honestly, I was thinking about at least 25 dollars for the normal panties and around 30 for the better ones, because I do not do really cheap lingerie and also take care of the shipping fees.

What scared me was, that I saw few people sell under 10 dollars. That is scarily little.

So, my question is – is 25 to 30 dollars for pretty one day worn panties reasonable or should I lower it or add some bonuses?

Sorry to be so confused

Hi

I used to wonder the same thing when I was browsing other panty sites.  Don’t be too hasty to lower your prices based on those less than £10 dollar sites….you have to base your price on replacing your panties, your packaging, your shipping and then of course you have to consider your time with regard to emails, the wearing, the packaging, the posting.

Buyers know that they get what they pay for..if they want quality then they have to pay for it…same as everything else in this life…

That’s my opinion anyway  smt

£10 dollar

Ooops….a new currency there….

…..another thought….isn’t the outcome of this poll rather obvious?

I have to agree with Anna. When I was doing prices, I saw some sites were super cheap. But after figuring your time, packaging, the panties themselves, and anything else you put into it (I always write a letter w/ mine, so stationary for me), I wanted to make a little profit. I don’t know how some sites can charge so little unless they don’t really wear them for the stated time and don’t care about return customers.
Your prices sound fair to me, though.

I lerned, that there are tons of “panty sellers” in Czech. Selling under 10 dollars and stating, that the items are worn for 4 or 5 days and such.
Most of them of course lie, the rest seems to accept money and send no goods.
So I became a fetish girl by myself, decided to provide the best items in my area. The problem is that some guys simply think that I am either too expensive or that I am another rip off like the fake sellers.
But I found some who understand that quality has its price and that I have real photos on my site. (My moles inherited after father are the proof, hehe.)

I was just wondering, how things are outside my country and I would not like to be too expensive or sound ridiculous, because there are so many quality sellers around.  🙂

One more question…. how can I make my blog more visible to potential buyers? I can not afford paid promotion yet.

Have a beautiful day

This is always a tough question.  When you are starting up the obvious method to building up buyers and your reputation is to offer panties at a discount price.

When I first started years ago I was the cheapest on the net (but then there were only a handful of sites anyway!).  The more busier I got the more work was involved. I started raising my prices accordingly and to what I thought was a reasonable price for my time and efforts.

As the years went on I raised my prices even more because I found that the more well known I was getting the more people were ordering and I could hardly keep up.  Even now I spend at least 4 hours a day wading through emails!

Now I feel my prices are probably higher than most, but I feel that for the service I provide is worth it. My buyers know this and so they are happy to pay slightly more – in fact I keep getting told off as they say my prices are still too cheap for what I do!

Its a case of building up a circle of buyers and offering the best product and service you can.  They will be back time and again and they will look after you as much as you look after them.

It does, however, take time.  It has taken me literally years to get to where I am now.  There was no panty hog or panty trust when I first started. Just eBay, magazines or Google Adwords – that was it.

All panty girls are different and work in different ways – you just have to find the right prices through trial and error.

Much love

p.s. to get a bit more traffic to your blog, try asking some girls to swop links with you. WHen you get your panty trust page up then you can also put a link in there too.  And dont forget you can always write a little news flash that appears on the front page on pantyhog 🙂
