Yes, you can, but manufacturing them makes more. Still a lot of room since we haven't seen a lot of people get into it. Maybe the "ick" factor.

Branded manufactures you can count on one hand.

it's difficult because if you try selling on ebay/amazon which are the biggest markets for buyers in terms of monthly volume you have to compete with the chinese sellers who are giving literally the lowest price possible as they are either the manufacturers or have close ties with manufacturers (not to mention free shipping, albeit it takes 2-4 weeks to arrive ). you would need to try and sell your competitive advantage whether it be "made in the USA" (doubtful if you can find a US manufacturer for rubber cocks); "quality materials" (might work but lol its a dildo); "fast shipping" (since you're shipping from the USA the shipping will be quicker than when someone buys from china; unless you're drop shipping in which case shipping time will be the same)

another issue if you decide to make your own store like >>547295 did you would need to advertise. not many ad services allow porn ads and dildos surely fall into the category. you would have to advertise with adult ad companies and compete with all the "make your dick 100 inches longer" and "fuck 100,000 girls in a week, sign up" ads. but one thing I can tell you is a vast majority of the people watching porn are guys, if you set your ads to target women only sure you would get less impressions but the impressions may be morelikely to convert. on the other hand you can target gay men with prostate simulators, might also work. or find some furry site and contact the web administrator, ask them if you could advertise on their site for a month, it's really expensive but if youre selling dragon/animal dildos you might make some good money.

If you cannot figure out the value of what that 19 year old said, you have a problem....

it was not only dildos it was all sorts of sex related stuff like roleplay clothing and libido raising products also lingerie. she was a stay at home mom during that time.

>> No.547606

>>547448
you can bypass the ads thing for dildos if you also sell lingerie and do ads for the lingerie you can also do ads on lots of sex and or porn related websites

> ...he said to the 19 year old.
That phrase is a surprisingly good alternative to "that's what she said".

It is very possible, however I would recommended having a blog on a toy selling website so as to rank higher on google with content.

Speaking of selling things on the internet a guy is selling four vitas and five PSPs for $390 and he said they all boot up fine but marked the ad as for parts or not working just because he hasn't actually tested them and doesn't want to be liable
Usually if something's too good to be true, it probably is but what do you guys think?

Hitachi make one, probably the best one judging by these cam sluts.
