/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Gf has been cosplaying for 8 years
>Jumps on a lot of bandwagons and never gets rid of old cosplays
>Has closet stuffed with cosplay, plus 6 boxes the size of pic related full of it.
>Almost entire storage room in current apartment full of cosplay
>Moving from country to city in May for her uni
>Know we’ll be in a smaller apartment and won’t have room for cosplay hoarding
>Don’t want to help her pay for a storage unit
>Suggest to my GF that she sorts it and lists it for sale now so she can have all her unwanted shit sold by May
>She won’t because she “won’t be able to make the money back that she put into it.”
>Well duh. It’s like that with any clothing item, minus some lolita dresses
>Mfw I realize she’s going to let it sit until May, and then either throw it away or waste money on a bigger moving van and a storage unit

Why do cosplayers have no concept of money works? Yes, it sucks to spend $120 on a cosplay and then sell it for $40, but $40 is better than $0.
