Cosplay in Halloween Costume Appropriate Rate?

[SpookyCamDoll]

Hi all,
I know a guy who is a personal fwb. Since we know each other in a personal type of context, I would prefer to keep things amicable as possible. For Halloween, I dressed up as a sort of sexy clown. He wanted me to rip open the crotch of my costume and make a vid for him, and I was like “No, I spent good money on this costume”. He told me something to the effect of, “I will gladly pay you more than what you bought the costume for, to do a custom vid”.

The Halloween costume cost me $121, accessories and all. The trouble is, I didn’t just purchase the Halloween costume…I purchased it on my credit card, and it will be accruing interest. My current Purchase APR is 28.49% variable. I googled a little bit about interest and my search results yielded that the interest this charge would accrue in a year would be about $34.70. Couple that with the fact that I also have to purchase more clown makeup (with shipping $7), some other clowny accessories like a mouth coil ($14), and good quality makeup remover wipes as I have sensitive skin ($14). He told me I could set the price that I want, as it is my time and effort and that I deserve to be compensated for being so good to him. He also told me that I could adjust the price to include any accessories I might need, like the makeup. I accidentally lowballed myself before putting a lot of thought into this and quoted him at $140. He explained to me that I could adjust the price for said accessories, after we both agreed upon this. I kind of think this is too low.

What do you think is fair?

In any other situation where time and materials are involved, say making a custom piece of woodwork for someone else, the forumula is

Materials x 2 + your hourly rate (aka what you want to make per hour on cam) = Price

So if the costume is $121 and the accessories are $7 and the wipes are $14....

121 + 7 + 14 =142 x 2 = 284 plus $25 (just picking an hourly rate number) per hour which will probably be four hours in total between motivation, makeup, filming, editing, makeup removal.

$284 + 200 = $484 so just round it up to $500 and then immediately pay off THAT part of the balance when your statement arrives and no interest on that charge itself will accrue.

Edit to add: If you do return a new price to him and he says no, you get to keep your costume and not have to worry about any of the other stuff.

Thank you for the input!
