cost of fembots:when will the price come down?

[rabiator]

Like Petey said, I guess the first ones will be extremely expensive, playthings for the rich. Once the early adopters have been properly fleeced, I'd expect prices to match the sum of comparable devices in other areas.

Our fembot could be a combination of

$6500 Realdoll
+$5000 mechanical chassis underneath the silicone. Wild guess here, taking a small motorcycle as comparison
+$2000 on-board computer, talking the better laptops as reference.
----------
=$13500, just as an educated guess.

Again, I go with Petey's guess about their abilities. Models that can walk and navigate your apartment on their own might actually be the better ones, cheap ones only being able to make typical "maneuvers" on all fours or on their back...
