Possibly selling more Fursuits, make me an offer
12 years ago
So, I really hate even considering this, but reality sucks hard sometimes...Bottom line is I have some assets that I love, but that are doing me no good at the moment, assets that to the right buyer could be a valuable commodity for me.
General Disclaimer:
I retain rights to the character itself and reserve the right without contacting you or getting permission to remake any of these characters either exactly or with modification for myself down the road. Specifics of my wishes as per your usage of the suit depends on the sale price, our relationship, and the character. As I have personal attachment to these characters, my price to be willing to part with said suit may very well be above the fair market value of the costume. I may need money, but this isn't a fire sale...I reserve the right to be a picky and clingy bitch :)
That said, below are all my suits, listed in the order of my willingness, and therefore likeliness to part with the suit, with the most attachment and therefore the highest prices required for parting listed first.
I may let the suits go for less then my ideal price, or even the higher price offered by another if the buyer abides by certain conditions, such as no alterations to the size of the suit, option for buyback later on at no more then the original purchase price, their proximity to me in so much that they will let me wear the suit again if I so choose at an event, and my relationship with said person.
1) Kaylee Bat - Latin Vixen made - NOT FOR SALE (at this time)
2) CB Roo - Latin Vixen made: This is my most prized suit for possible sale, I am going to be extremely picky. Minimum price for friends for me to even consider it is $2000, for lesser acquaintances or where I lose rights to wear or buy the suit back, think closer to $3000, Yes I am making it difficult. Condition: very good, likely needs new feet soon, look fine from top, bottoms are fairly worn, head needs tooth re-glued, have tooth, average butt matting, no known stains or seam issues
3) Frostbite lemur / Snowcap lemur. Made by Scribblefox/mixed candy. This is an interesting one to deal with as they share pieces. The original, snowcap was made by scribble is a full suit with both indoor and outdoor sets of feet, Frostbite is the same suit with a new head and tail making it a ringtail by Mixed Candy. Will sell all or part of these guys together, separate, as a partial, depending on offer. Condition: Feet: some of the toes are split and coming off, may be glueable, bottoms in good shape, visibly look fine, Scribble head, nose is "chipped" the rubber has split with the foam exposed, eyelashes show wear, body si fine but was always short on me, color still very white., hand paws and LV head/tail, no known issues, minor discoloration on bottom of tail
4) Riddles Ferret - Made by Whitewolf. Body is in very good condition, though zipper is now a separating one. Needs new feet, bottoms very worn, but very useable, nose could be repainted
5) Antimon Meerkat: Made by Mixed Candy, this is me, my first suit and primary fursona, but the suit is in fair to good condition. Older style (ie large) head, had, and still suffers from some mold, hand paws very worn fur rubbed off through to backing in a few fingers, has brand new outdoor feet, indoor feet are near useless due to wear, body has stretched and been modified so it fits odd, has an attached tail, parts for a partial also available, original tail, and leg and arm extenstions. I will indeed make Antimon 2.0 some day, this suit is close to 10 years old on the original parts and needs a loving home instead of retirement
6) Antimon/Asante Lion made by White wolf/latin vixen. I love this suit but it has a past. It was originally Tayah lioness for Raspberry roo, I adopted her and made it into my male lion with help from a new Latin Vixen head, both are available. The suit is in poor to fair shape. Needs new feet paws and hand paws, both are useable but trashed and falling apart, missing pads, chipped claws, fur worn, seams splitting. The tail has always been weak, the body is in good shape just old, the male head is near like new, the female head was poorly made to start with. I recognize the work the suit needs and it's age, but it does have significant sentimental value that would need to be overcome.
7) Chatter CHipmonk: Made by White Wolf. Condition, like new, I hardly ever wear it, it never quite came out the way I imagined, both in the head design (my fault) or the fur colors on the body, they are so similar, I can barley and often cant tell them apart. Paws body head, all like new, with the exception of he also had a mold issue from storage, needs additional cleaning up to remove Oder. Another suit I would like to remake, but in an altered design. This is likely the suit (left) that I've paid the least for and am the least happy with/attached too. As a result though he hasn't had much exposer, or when he was out, attention. I'd say to cover costs, and make it worth my time, my starting price on this suit would be a semi flexible $1100 ish, and everything else would be a percentage higher with exceptions.
To give you a fitting option, I am a 6 ft, 245 lb man. All the suits fit comfortably with room to spair, and have been worn by many people. Pictures of all suits should be in my gallery.
Make offers via private note, thread comment or any of my messengers.
This is a tentative sale, I reserve the right to get cold feet and refuse any and all offers, even more then reasonable ones.
I'll be honest, Priority is going to go to those who have worn these suits in the past.

An idea : with each listing provide a link to the actual suit. Might help sell them easier
If not all best mate. It is hard to sell something u made and have wore.
um, depends, no offence, I haven't had the best luck collecting payment after the fact
I detect quite a sense of attachment to that suit, so maybe you should hang onto it.
As it is... I'm tempted. Might be a bit too short, though at 5 foot 7.
I've had people shorter then that in him he scales surprisingly well.
The main reason he is so high is cus people Identify that suit directly with me, and is original from the ground up, he is in great shape, well loved, has a reputation and always gets lots of attention, anything less then that and I'd hold on to him. I actually didn't pay much less then that for him actually, so that's actually more of a fair price for his value then some of the older suits with I am emotionally attaching extra value to then the sum of their parts.
I'm not one of those people that buys something at price x, sells it for a fraction later on then rebuys it later on, so I'm trying to re-coop as much of their original cost as I can within reason, in some cases, like CB's I need more then I paid to break the bond and make it justifiable to myself to sell.
trust me, I'm not happy about being in a position to have to do this, if money was no object, this wouldn't be happening
I do love the suit, and have enjoyed some nice 'roo hugs in the past:

Ultimately, though, now wouldn't be a good time for me to buy another fursuit. I'm already spending about three grand to attend four furry cons over the next 10 months as it is. Plus, as you said, CB is heavily identified with you and I'd feel a bit odd about stepping into somebody's shoes ( or paws, as is the case here! ), particularly when said somebody is a hard act to follow such as yourself.
And that's before the transport option comes into play. As I live in Ireland I have to travel overseas for every con. My Peaches fursuit just about fits in a large suitcase. CB looks bigger ( tail! ), so I've no idea how I could practically transport him!
I hope CB goes to a good home - someone who'll bring him to a lot of cons and give a lot of hugs. However, I hope even more that you find a way of keeping him for yourself.
Maybe I could sell a kidney...
I hope everything works out for you in the end...you do what you need to do, but I'm sad to see CB-Roo possibly leaving your home.
