I feel like it's the opposite--- to me, I've noticed so many willing to buy.
I feel like prices are high because they realize we're such a high population/ affected by dysphoria/ willing to pay the price.
Idk.. I think another concern to add to ~realisticness~ would be lifespan of the toy (i.e. packers).
I also feel like out items may be considered "toys" to some (possibly those who aren't bottom dysphoric????? ie. someone who just wants a packer to play with now and then or wants to use it as a gag gift, for cosplay, etc), "prosthetics" to others (which suddenly I realized what if price creates a barrier for this, like I feel like more expensive packers are regarded as prosthetics more often, which makes me worry about class privilege in naming of bits), etc.
I also feel like ftm items often inherently promote consumerism. e.g. You're not expected to just get a packer/STP (although I feel like STP may rank less as "toy".. partly again because of the price divide [which then causes me to worry about my own classist ideals], but also its practicality, although if it can be used for penetration too I might say it's more "toy"..) but you're expected to get the packing underwear/ harness/ etc. as well (sometimes even made specifically for that packer, which then creates the consumerism of need of multiple packing underwear/ harnesses to be bought)
I also feel like things like pumps have practical application/ may not be considered toys to some, but possibly medical devices. Beyond that I can't think of much specialty ftm toys. There's vibrating/ penetrating toys and porn, but those are typically marketed to all.
Then I feel like binders aren't toys, so idk why they're mentioned here. I mean, you can play with them, yeah but I feel like they most of all are used for practical purposes that often aren't considered play (i.e. just living, cosplay, etc)
I feel like it's possible to argue there may not even be many ftm toys out there at all. (I can't think of any that are solely intended to be used as toys, with no "practical" applications beyond play.) And a better question to ask might be, "Why is life as an ftm person/ trans* person at all so expensive, and to what extent does living a trans* normative life create capitalist/ elitist (possibly in homemade vs. store-bought dichotomies, realistic vs. unrealistic dichotomy) ideals?"
