The worst rip-off i ever saw was Stacy Moran videos being sold for 70 dollars USD soft core crap but someone would have paid it because it was a must have.

Good point, Buttsie. You can pay that for attending a non-event, goalless draw football match that disappears from the memory long before the final whistle has finished sounding. But a good porn DVD or video will bring joy for hours.
Marcus, Phil etc, please make out cheques to Caractacus Arsehole Stupid Halfwit (hell, just use the initials for short)for this fine ad for your wares.

?25 is usually on the high side.
It depends on volume to a large extent. From a small outfit, there is no scope for economy of sale, so I don't mind paying up. Private charge $40 on their site, as do Anabolic and Extreme Associates, but you can shop around and get them for a more realistic ?18-20.
YC comes in at ?20 if you buy five.
Seventeen I have a bit of a problem with, as I believe they
'RRP' their distibutors to a minimum ?25, which for high-volume and 90 mins, is greedy. Score are also a little greedy, IMHO.
Look around: as in Buttsie's example, there are some fantastic bargains out there.

there are crims in all types of business. just take a look at the building game. Its just that porn used to be an easy earner. Take the punters money and dont send them the goods. Who ar they going to complain to Watchdog?
I did post this earlier but it seems to have gone missing. stupid computer.

The whole point was trying to get away from that element is real hard when people still treat you as if, Dave has never said a word out of place to me acted the perfect gentleman when we were with him in Cannes and thats what counts. Anyone who knows me I treat people with respect unless thay go out of their way to piss me off. I always send out what is requested and been doing it for years, If I was a rip off merchant like in the old days I would take it out of your pocket with you watching, I don't need to sneak around everyone knowns my phone no and address, so what the shit. The point is I have respect from the people who mater anyone else who cares. Woodgnome does a fine job and has my backing for one.

A couple of points -
Whether they are straight, crooked, or just slightly bent, all people who have something to sell will try to sell it for the highest possible price - to start with. The price will have to drop to a level at which they can move their product. Porn is no different from any other industry - supply and demand dictate a reat deal of what goes on.
Secondly, Porn is gradually broadening its legitimacy, and is openly discussed, even in "polite" society, so the time is rapidly approaching when it may be worth calling the Trading Standards Office.
Just a thought.

'DODGY' Dave has built his entire career on the back of proffesional villiany, for him to start moaning because people dont view him as a pussycat is a little bit rich dont you think?

Who said he was moaning, I take it he is happy with himself he seem to doing well. My point was the UK in general prefer to see everyone doing bad for themselves hence the success of Eastenders, who would move there I ask you can you get insurance in that square. The attitude that as long as someone is worse of than yourselve and if are not making them that way is wrong. This forum should be and largely is about encouraging models, producers etc and where it helps is in information about products, girls and dodgy dealers. The thought it is here for a few sad fucks to play with is wrong. Some people think the Internet is like an invisible force field which allows trolls to slate who they want and provides them safety and security. WRONG.
I tend to think they are not worth the slap but I could be wrong.
Before anyone thinks I am censoring I am not, I simply mean slagging for the sake of it,
