1000 is like a professional, top quality, I'm-going-to-a-furry-CEO-meeting fursuit.
Besides, they can be rented.
1000 is pretty standard from what I hear.
At least if you want it custom.
The pricing varies mostly by how popular the maker is and how quickly they can produce professional quality. 1000 is honestly a lot, even for a full-suit (a lot of people just get the head, paws, maybe forearms or full arms depending on the rest of their costume, and feet, which is a 'partial'). For that you can get a -very- nice suit from Beastcub, airbrushed quality.
Most heads hover around 200-400. Which, for a lot of people, is around what they're willing to spend as a one-off splurge for something fancy, like a better computer, or a power tool, what-have-you. It's getting to be interesting in that it's becoming much harder to start out as a maker, even with very high quality, so people are forced to sell for less and work sweatshop-style so that they can be complained at by buyers for taking too long, and then complained at by buyers that it looks wrong, and then not paid.
Leafsnail has intentionally been trying to derail and deconstruct this thread for some time now and there comes a point at which it is no longer acceptable. He just reached that point.
Yay I was waiting for another sig.
Sigs: apparently a way to be passive aggressive at people you don't like!
On the subject of furries... I am uncomfortable about the subject because it is a fetish.
I like things with anthropomorphic animals, but calling it a furry thing just creeps me out and makes me like the thing less.
sig: Yeah, I was bothered by that too. What's the deal, man?
Second thing. Eh. I'm the last person to say that 'Hurp durp that's a minority not all of us are like that!' because, well... But it's always been interesting to me mainly because it's about exploring humanity from a different perspective. Freefall, posted earlier, is a good example, although the differences are made pretty superficial. Examining the way we treat and think of animals is also a facet that's underserved in literature, which is touched upon in a lot of the non-porn writing the fandom produces.
If you think about it, it's closer to reality than the way we think of humanity - humans are animals, and behave like animals, however much we cover it up with social constructs. In fact, examined from the outside, our social constructs are a part of our characteristics
as animals. So anthropomorphizing other animals thoughtfully (or caricaturing ourselves) is the closest we can get to examining how an outsider might see us, and maybe from that we can glean some kind of impartiality towards our behavior.
Not that this kind of fiction is common whatsoever, it just justifies the entire thing to me pretty effortlessly when I see it done well.
