Cool Video, I was interested in a Vibroy after hearing about the technology. Question though if this is a X-Vibe shouldn't prices be in line with the bulk prices from Aliexpress also coming from China?<br /><br />http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?shipCountry=us&shipCompanies=&SearchText=x-vibe&exception=&minPrice=&maxPrice=&minQuantity=&maxQuantity=&isFreeShip=n&isFavorite=n&isRtl=yes&isOnSale=n&isAtmOnline=n&CatId=0&needQuery=y<br /><br />Or even Ebay:<br />http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=x+vibe&_osacat=15052&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xx-vibe&_nkw=x-vibe&_sacat=15052&_from=R40<br /><br />The X-Vibe looks and performs similar the Vibroy, but is that the correct MSRP given it is not the authentic Vibroy. <br /><br />All the same this looks cool and if a final drop price around $5-6 + $3.31 S/H could be negotiated I might pick up 2. One as a gift and the other for me ;-)
KloudSocietyTheir pricing structure is similar/in-line with ours. The MSRP's come from the manufacturers/distributors (in China, this arguably is a random number they quote us on the phone - then again in North America it's a random number cleverly used by the marketing team to build an artificial discount so maybe it's not so different!)
Keep in mind Ali Express markets themselves as wholesalers so their cost structure is probably similar to ours (except their warehouse handling fees are a lot lower than ours). Also I'm not sure about the import taxes, it's possibly/likely they can slip packages of $10 through the system without any charges, when we order these by the hundreds we generally have to pay some types of customs brokerage or taxes which we pass on through our price.
Our distributor in China has told us these are all OEM'd at the same factory (Vibroy or not), once again, accept that for what its worth.
