Some sites you can check are jtstockroom and extremerestraints - extremerestraints has great sales around holidays - I got a wwartenburg pinwheel and a little silver egge vibe once for less than $10, shipping included.
Also, there's sub-shop.com - I got a thrifty slave ball gag for $2; slightlyy irregular color but you really can't tell and it does the job. :p

I got a crop on sale for $8 at TSC (I think it may have been mis-marked). You may also want to check out the Better Built Bondage Book. It has directions on how to do tons of things yourself and is worth the money.

Status: offline 		The responses so far are good advice on where to get your first bondage toys, but it sounds like you are looking for more than that.

The biggest mistake I see newbies making (including myself when I was one) is going overboard on buying too many toys. Keep it simple, start small, and gradually build up your toy box. A newbie Dom with too much gear won't know how to use any of it very well making it tough to inspire a sub to stick around. A newbie sub with too much gear can end up intimidating a novice Dom/me away when they look at your mountain of gear not knowing what they would do with all of it.

I would pick one type of bondage from your list to start with. Personally I would go with either cuffs or rope as a starting point.

Cuffs and collars are very nice for novices because they are very easy to use. Good quality cuffs are expensive, but there is nothing wrong with starting with the cheap velcro kind and upgrading later.

Rope is great for beginners because it is cheap. Don't worry about getting the high end shibari grade hemp - start with basic Home Depot rope. If you find you like rope, you'll want better rope later. Just don't break the bank when first starting.

The problem with rope for beginners is it is more difficult to do well than cuffs. I don't want to scare you off rope, because it is still a great place to start. I just recommend starting with a book on rope bondage. It will give you more confidence and make it more fun to learn. Two book recommendations are "Jay Wiseman's Erotic Bondage Handbook" and "Two Knotty Boys Showing You The Ropes". Both are available on Amazon. Jay Wiseman's book has more information, but the Two Knotty Boys book has much better pictures which is very helpful when trying to learn a new rope technique.

Lots of great places already mentioned:)

If you're new, I wouldn't invest a ton of money in toys until you have the experience to know what you're into.

Rope is a hassle unless you're good with knots, and you can cut off circulation and crap unless you know what you are doing.

For bondage, I recommend buying cheap pet collars at Walmart or any pet store that will serve as cuffs. The hardware store has cheap chain as well as doodads to clip it together (nice for fast release).

Most farm stores sell crops for cheap. Or try the pet store.

You can make your own floggers; a Google search will bring up tons of hits.

Tons of household items make for great sensation play. Get creative.

Remember, the single most important tool in your kit is your BRAIN.

Wow. Screw XR, I'm going to Ebay on payday. We've been wanting a better blindfold for a while now. The one we got was $30 and is WAY too big. Thought about just cutting the back and tying it on, but I don't want to do that till we've got a new one. Anyway, thanks for that tip.

You can absolutely use an extension cord. When I first started, I was a huge fan of extension cords, power cords, phone charger cords.. Hell, cords were my thing. Even now, when the rope is too far away, or extension cords are simply handier, they work just fine.

Status: offline 		I am not a "starter" with bondage, but up until now I have used things that are handy, rope, clothing, belts, tights, pantyhose, etc. But I am getting seduced by the idea of wrist and ankle cuffs primarily as a time saving element. Leather looks best and probably lasts longest, but what about cleaning? I'd like something easy to clean, and ideally something that could be tossed in a washing machine.

What do people recommend? And where can it be bought at a reasonable price?
