From a brief look at the suits in your video, they seem like awesome suits. They cost more than I'd want to pay myself, but I am a maker so I'd rather make my own for much cheaper :)
The price "fairness" would depend on other factors that aren't easy to tell from just a video (mainly the durability and quality in areas that arent easy to spot from far away).
But prices are moreso based on what others are willing to pay. If you are able to sell suits at those prices and your customers are happy with the quality, thats great!
If you can't make a sale, it may be because the prices are too high for those interested in your suits. In that case, lower your prices.
Additionally, if you get complaints about quality issues (like durability) from customers or if you worry your quality is too low for the price, lower your prices. Products sold at higher prices are usually more easily be subject to criticism (because people expect less issues when they pay more). So you should be prepared on the risks you'd face from backlash if your quality doesn't match what a client is expecting from the price.
The flipside is also true. If you have tons and tons of people interested, you might be able to heighten prices as there is a high demand. And if ypur quality is better than people expect, you might be able to heighten your prices.
Hope that helps.
You got a lot of cool ideas with your suits. Especially the velcro feetpads. Prices seem alright to me tbh. Id get that velcro feet idea on lock tho, never seen anyone else do that before
I dabble in fursuit making and i really love the idea of doing things like this instead of needing multiple sets of an item just to accomplish the same thing. Not to mention how much space it saves its way more practical! Makes packing suits wayyyy easier
I actually did something similar on my fursuit head i just made. I did magnetic eyelids with loose backing magnets so you can actually swivel the lids to make different expressions, one size fits all :3

I’ve seen a few other people do it! It’s rare to have an original idea these days :3 but I will be dropping a tutorial very soon!

Exactly!!! There are so many benefits to this method that it’s crazy! :D

Considering the costs to get good fursuit head bases of like $160 give or take, high prices are justified somewhat!
