Dungeon Master
I thought a Dungeon Master was a pot head who ran 12 hour long D&D marathons. I obviously stand corrected.
Looks like a good vid.

Well thanks a lot guys!!!
You finally get round to something that looks a little more sexual, something that recognises that you are dealing with women and not barbie dolls and what do you know!!! suddenly its "sorry all you overseas customers but, you will have to kiss my ass before you get THIS video" Blimey!!!!

Excellent looking video guys. It's only a shame you first stop doing PAL conversions and then blow off overseas customers completely too! 
😡 Don't try to plead about "costs" either. NTSC to PAL conversion can be done with the right leads, and two dual format VCR's. I know because I've done a similar thing myself. As for refusing to ship overseas from now on, well you certainly seem to be doing your best to totally fuck up your customer base. I live in England, and have happily paid you extra postage fees to ship a total of 8 of your tapes over the pond to me in the past, but you obviously don't give an arse about that. I don't like playing CD-ROMS of tickling videos either because the sound and picture quality isn't good enough, so don't bother to tell me I can order them instead. "Near DVD quality" doesn't cut the mustard.
TIB, you once told me in the TMF chat room that you were only a small time outfit, even hough a lot of people thought you were big time. Well, with business sense like your company has showed recently, it is going to stay small time forever; IF it manages to stay in business at all!

No overseas? What's that?
Man I thought world was getting smaller....about 5 or 6 years ago buying something by internet was an adventure. Now that everybody buys everything all over the world to any other place, there's this tickling producer that drives backwards in time!
I've bought 6 videos from femfeet before, and was intended to buy other 3 by september... that's US$ 120,00 they'll never see...

Re: No overseas? What's that?
It's their loss Brazil, not yours. There are plenty of other comapnies who produce material of equal and better quality that would be only to happy to appreciate your custom. I think they should just call the receivers in now and have done wih it. It's a shame really because Priscilla James and the TIB are the two best ticklers on the market. Let's hope a decent company that knows how to treat it's customers hires them for a few videos.

If you are disturbed by TC's business practices, as I am, the simple solution is to not buy from them anymore. Obviously, that's not a problem for you overseas folks, as TC has made it impossible for you to purchase their tapes. I have made a decision to never buy another video from them, and I'm fine with that decision. They will never see another dime from me! Believe me, you can live without their videos, it's not that difficult!
Don't know whatever happened to the saying that "the customer is always right." TC's arrogant attitude about re-selling their videos on eBay, and their unwillingless to ship overseas, will cost them many of their best customers. Bear that in mind the next time you see one of their posts whining that "not enough people purchase videos." Perhaps if TIB spent more time attending to his customers, instead of policing eBay for people selling their TC videos, they'd do a higher volume of business. 😎

yes. we agree. our videos do not breathe life into your soul. they are in fact merely tickling fetish videos (but good ones). and there are many to choose from on EBAY from some of the other companies, so you dont need us, we agree.
see for yourself. http://ebay.com type "tickling" in the search box and you're in business. not one of the other tickling companies have spoken up against this EBAY issue so it is clear that it is A-OK with them. great. but not with us. we're not afraid to put a foot down when we feel its needed. even if it means public thrashing on tickling forums.
supertickler you seem to have been hit the hardest by our not wanting our titles sold by everyone on earth on the ebays of the world. were sorry its such a huge issue to you. in fact, the far majority of your most recent 10 posts discuss us in detail. we're sorry its burning you up but you really should move on. we know, we know, you've got your boycott signs all made up and ready to march the streets. and yes your posts are attempting to rally others to your cause. we understand that. i think everyone gets your point after all of your posts.
honestly though, aren't there more important, more life and death issues in this crazy world that you can direct your abilities and attentions to...other than if u can sell a tc video on ebay for $15?
how burning of an issue are tc & ebay compared to many real issues in the last 50 years?

TIB,
You seem to be taking this rather personally. You are not the aggrieved victim here. I take property rights very seriously, and it really burns my hide when someone arrogates to themselves the power to violate my property rights, particularly when I have supported your business very strongly over the past few years.
You are NOT the government, and you are so clearly in the wrong here that it doesn't even bear discussion. The fact that other companies don't bully eBay into not listing their videos should be evidence that they don't take the same heavy-handed approach that you do. Perhaps you should take this fact under advisement and re-consider your position--but I doubt you will.
As for a boycott, I don't encourage or discourage anyone from buying your videos. I have stated my preference--others are free to make up their own minds. 😎

TIB you are entirely correct in saying your videos are good ones. They are very good, and they deal in a variety of themes from "girlie friendly tickling" to quote Priscilla James, to more hardcore, sexual tickling. Your product is excellent, which is why I'm so pissed off that you don't want me as a video tape customer any more; even if I AM willing to pay conversion costs and excess shipping charges for the pleasure of seeing your work. You yourself are the best tickle-torturer I've ever seen in action. (yes even better than Priscilla! even though you don't use that patented tongue-tickling technique like she does. The closest you came to it was kissing one of Cheyenne Colton's toes in Midnight Hysteria.)
Having purchased 8 of your tapes I was quite happily contemplating taking my collection into double figures when you put the bar on international orders altogether.😕 A strange thng for you to do when I'd have happily covered the extra costs involved because of the lack of a single tickle video company in this miserable and medieval country of mine. I could have seen myself buying at least half a dozen of your tapes this year and am at a loss to understand why you and Kathy don't want my money.
As for the eBay thing, well it's not an issue for me as I've never bought second hand videos myself anyway, so I can't comment.

TC's decision to follow the course they've chosen is thier own. Many people might be P.O.'d that there's an issue about selling videos on Ebay, but that's how it goes. Whan and if I start making videos, I sure as hell don't want 70% of them going for 50% of what it cost to make them.
As far as not shipping overseas, that's another decision that TC feels they had to make. I'm sure they didn't do it lightly, as I know how important the community is to Kathy and TiB. I have to agree that shipping across the pond makes sense, and I'd be a bit miffed as well if I couldn't get these great tapes. However, just the fact that this decision was made should show how much the community needs to step up and start supporting its own.
TC has been through the mill listening to a thousand people say "Great job! Where's the free clip?", and almost always providing one (a non-profit enterprise, by the way...and it's not exactly free for them).
People seem to have the impression that folks like TC, MTJ, MTP and the like are sleeping on a bed of cash just because they have a halfway decent and professional-looking website. The fact is, everybody providing the material that we all crave so much could really use the support of the community. Yes, we're growing, but in the grand scheme of things, we're pretty small still. Depending on a customer base of a few thousand people, maybe a quarter of which buy things on a regular basis...that doesn't exactly lead to a million dollar bank account.
I can understand the despair felt by those of you overseas, and perhaps TC's policy can change in the future with greater customer support. Stating your displeasure about this change in policy is expected here, as we have a lot of foriegn members. However, TC's policy on reselling thier videos has been made, and that topic is subject to Forum rules like everything else. It's done, move on.

Out of curiosity...
Why DON'T they sell overseas?
If they transfer the extra costs to the customers who are willing to pay it, they aren't losing anything. It would seem this is a "pride" issue, but when it's money in their pockets, that makes little sense. 🙄 Do they just not want to do business with them? Seems a silly choice to me, personally.
As far as E-Bay....it's nothing more than a flea market online. 😛
I would think that they would want their tapes at least in circulation to folks who can buy them there rather than collecting dust in bottom drawer of someoone's bedroom dresser. For "name brand" products, E-Bay is the best source of low-cost advertising that ever existerd! Again, a silly choice to me.
As business owner, I go to my customers. I don't make my customers beg for my services. Maybe that's just my little way of keeping the people who put money in my packet happy. If I did it any other way, in a competitive market, I'd be soon out of business.
Just my $.02

Sorry about that. Jsut realized that you may have meant to not add to the thread, not to just "Get over your unhappiness with the vid company." OOPS
I was just genuinely curious as to the reasoning....I never saw an ANSWER to the questions posed by the customers to the company. I thought maybe I'd missed it.

Business decisions are the toughest. Having been in the restaurant biz for almost 15 years, I can only say the fastest way to go OUT of business is to try to please everyone everytime everyday...it's a goal, but at times pushes you into actions and financial areas that can leave you spread way too thin and putting out fires constantly. You do what you have to do to survive, and we all should respect that these decisions aren't made lightly or easily. Q

Jo, according to a thread the TIB left in another post it's because of difficulties with getting the full address from international customers who don't speak english. This results in the product being returned or simply vanishing. When it's returned TC have to ship them again and this costs them money. Also some countries customs won't let the orders through and refuse to give an explanation for it.
Now for me, neither have been a problem because H.M. Customs have never bothered stopping my orders.They inspected them the first half a dozen times or so, but didn't bother after that because they knew I wasn't shipping anything illegal. Given that and the fact that our countries both speak the same language, I can't understand why TC have banned ALL international orders. I'm making the assumption that no other UK customers have had the customs problem of course.TIB, correct me if I'm wrong on this one will you?

Far be it from me..............
But i must spring to TIB,s defence I have had many problems in the past with customs and having heard TIB,s reasoning I can understand the problem. Unlike other suppliers TIB has (if I understand correctly) stood the cost of his customers dissapointment up to a point but has to draw a line eventually. My only gripe is that this was not explained at the earliest opportunity.

Re: Far be it from me..............
Red can you tell me what sort of problems? I've bought over 30 vids from the states and never had a single one. If you don't mind sharing what would be private-ish info with me, I'd appreciate it as it'd help me understand the situation more.

Not at all, Joby. It was never my intention to limit anyone's discussion on any matter in a civilized fashion. I guess what I meant was that griping on the same point over and over is the sort of thing that does eventually lead to threads closing or feelings getting hurt....you know, all that yucky stuff.🙄
There are going to be questions and complaints any time a company makes a decision that affects its customer base, but TiB explained the reasons (although I do know that some didn't see it in the other thread at the time), and there's not much that can be done about it.
Again, it was never my intention to censor any mature discussion. My apologies if it came across that way.😎
JoBelle said:
LOL. 😀 😀 yeah that's it! they are just too proud to send videos out of the country. all of a sudden they got very proud 2 weeks ago and said to themselves, "where to cool to send tapes internationally."
you are exactly right joby. you feeling ok? 🙂 🙄 🙄 🙄
no. but seriously, i kind of understand what TC is saying but think there might be better ways of dealing with it.
