You're right. Anybody with at least a bit of knowledge could have taken down or changed the site a long time ago.
Server-problems can be no excuse. There simply isn't any provider who can afford to have problems for such a long time. If it really wasn't possible for the customers to update their webpages for weeks then the provider would already have gone bankrupt.

Well here I am again with egg on my face. After changing to a new host, it seems that Internet Solutions works at a pace that is not as fast and easy as I would like. Also, my ex-host seems to be slowing the process down out of what seems to be "sour grapes". I have another Internet meeting tomorrow and I am hoping that this site situation is resolved by the weekend. Thanks for your inquiry and I hope you well with your endeavors.
Steve P.S. I have not sold the "Stud" to anyone at the $995.00 price. I hope your writer does not think that he is the only one that does not get that price just because he has complained.

I really don't know what to say at this point - although I fully expect to be emailing him again
next week, and the week after that, and the week after that, and the week after that.

Hello Dumb Blonde,
Finally Fleshlight.com is gone. My site is at www.sexfantasyzone.com (which is also being completely redone).
You asked why such a steep increase in price without any visible additions to the product. In the beginning, I wanted to offer the best sex products in the world at the best prices. I designed, developed, and patented these bodies in 1994 and 1995. I just started making and selling them without ever really knowing what my costs were. My primary product was the Fleshlight which was born from the bodies with removable orifices. Once I broke down tha actual cost of making these hand crafted bodies, I found that I was loosing money. The problem was that people were used to seeing them at the original price. Once I had to double the price, the people that had known the product at the lower price, thought that I was trying to take advantage. By the way they consisted of two complaints. Now that I have solved the site issue, I'll begin marketing the bodies again. I was looking at Realdoll.com yesterday, and noticed that their basic entry level body was in excess of $6,000.00 with shipping. I felt confident in my product and pricing, especially since their bodies are not relly sexually usable.
Anyway, thanks for keeping after me, I'll talk via e-mail again soon. Steve
