TOPIC: PMMA Pricing Conversation

I do not think that anyone ever presented Dr. C as a humanitarian. Although, he is certainly caring and concerned for his patients.
A savior? Well, I guess that depends on your perspective.


And just out of curiosity, was this 2.25% rate when rates were hovering around 3.25% or now when they are around 4.25%?
If it was during the 3.25% time, this person got a rate at 69% of the going market rate.
Likewise, if you say you will go for 3 rounds ($5,500) and compare it with another option at $8,000 you have the same savings.
However, if you only go for one or two rounds, the savings are much more substantial.

as i stated i didnt say he is a douche bag for increasing it... i get why as a business man he did it but thats all he is was my point....not some guy out to actually help people with problems as in a cause or charity....dudes just another doc out for pure profit and that is evident in the price increases UNLESS they were related to costs from manufactures going up in price to him

as far as me being cheap i am dam proud of it cause i work my ass off for my money and how do you think the rich get rich? by spending it or giving it all way...most are cheap lol

and my convo would prob with that way on the phone with them cause business is all about sales and negotiating and if they hang up on you during a negotiation then they shouldnt be in the business of selling something ... just no no no and move on rather then hang up if they cant reduce the price

and if a person came into the bank and said to give them rates half the amount of market i would look at there compensating factors and collateral income, assests, and debt to justify it and show them why rather then just tell them some bs story or hang up on them without a viable reason as to why i can or cant. btw i gave a 2.25% on a 30 year fixed conventional loan with ZERO closing costs and points to a recent customer and many others were in the 2.75% rate...those of you who are homeowners might have those rates on your home loan and those of you who have higher would prob for that rate <3

as far as tipping -_- if you suck you still get 10% for bring out the food and drinks ....still kinda stupid if you ask me to give anything if you suck that bad lol...generally i do 20% and if its badass service 30 to 40

as i said i never said he was wrong or that he cant do it...simply that i used to think of this guy as a savior and humanitarian for people with mental issues about there penis and what not and now i see him as just another doc doing a surgery for money

Keep in mind his other practices were likely more profitable... the PMMA in the penis thing used to just be only a portion of his services... I would hazard a bet that it has become most of what he does now. I\'d charge more as well if it was preventing me from doing more profitable practices.

If I remeber correctly, the starting price was $1500 and now it is $2500? That is a huge jump in price.

BUT, BUT, DR C says that his cost for the PMMA has gone up so \"A\" price increase is more than fair. Still, This is a business. I do not blame Dr C for his price increase. Everything goes up when demands go up, is it fair? yes and no but this life is not fair so we have to deal with it.

If one is not happy with the price, don\'t go for it.

For me, It was worth every penny and then some. After spending over $12k on the wonderful defunct elist silicone implant that caused me pain and suffering 2nd to none, so far PMMA with Dr C and his quality work have been great, for me at least......

This is just to carry on the conversation from Kingpin\'s progress thread.

There are a lot of people that are complaining about the pricing of PMMA and how the price has increased due to demand.

I completely understand that everyone would like for the pricing to be as inexpensive as it was when this forum began. I would love for that to be the case as well. However, the doctor is a businessman. And as a good businessman, he understands supply and demand. Also, compared to other options, it is relatively inexpensive.

Also, I find it interesting that some people are complaining about this forum being the reason for the increase of the popularity and thus the price. At the same time, this forum is the reason some of these very people even know or have further information about PMMA as an option.

All this to say that I think that it is very unfair to villanize Dr. C for increasing his prices. He has a business to run and he is doing that to the best of his ability. I think that when all factors are weighed (risks, complications, size increase, etc) the price is still very fair for what is received.

I did not take advantage of the lowest pricing but that was a personal choice. I wanted to wait and see a few more outcomes. Also, I wanted to make sure that I felt comfortable with his technique and knowledge, which appeared to improve. I feel that this in itself was worth the increased cost.

Just my $0.02
