I agree with dan and metalmonkey. Make them if you get the chance and test the market. I have not investigated the market extenively for these items, but it is very specialized and therefore carries a premium price.

A friend of mine once wanted me to go into the business (with him) of making medieval style restraints, he has some knowledge of and experience with these devices, and the numbers that we discussed were very good and tempting, however I was working on another project and could not do it. Apparently there is an upper class fetish market that has quite the disposable income.

I have seen some "custom" work of a similar nature for sale at a show(don't ask how I came to be at such a show) and the vendor and his two girl friends apparently support themselves and travel fairly well.

And I reccomend lining them with satin covered soft padding. For safety, of course. LOL
