How does cgl feel about the price of used costumes? When selling your pre worn costumes, how do you calculate your asking price?

Pic related, saw some argument on tumblr claiming this set (dress/gloves/stockings) were way overpriced, got me wondering how cgl priced theirs.

[Anonymous No.8537002]

If it's brand new, 1.25(Materials + accessories + wig + etc) = what I charge. Anything can be taken out of the equation if they don't want a certain part. Sometimes I'll go up to 1.50(cost) if the outfit is particularly elaborate. If it's an old cosplay, I just sell it for material + accessory cost to break even.

That cosplay should not be $200. Maybe $100 at the most.

[Anonymous No.8537013]

Depends oh how nicely made it is on top of material costs. I knock it down if the zipper is janky or bows have to be safety pinned on etc.

I do think people overcharged for used wigs a lot. If its an Arda, epic or known decent brand and mostly unused that's one thing but random eBay wigs should not be pushing $30-40

[Anonymous No.8537026]

I think it's a relatively fair price but you can't neglect the cost of all the food it will take to get fat enough to wear it.

[Anonymous No.8537093]

Uh considering the dress on the right was originally offered for 150 but ended up going for 200 anyway, yeah that seems a bit...steep..

[Anonymous No.8537108]

>>8536941

I calculate it based on the materials cost and then labor. Though if I did a shit job with it, I'll sell it pretty much only for material costs. I've been told I charge less compared to what most people do but - it's not a new item and I generally just want to make up for what I spent on it.

200 dollars on a Me!Me!Me! dress seems ridiculous unless she's selling everything.

I get rid of stuff because I want it gone, so I price it to move. I'd give stuff away for free, except you get the craigslist effect where people waste your time and flake out in mass numbers. Asking $20-$60 is more likely to get follow through. Plus everything I make is custom fitted, so the potential buyer pool is pretty small and mostly limited to short torsoed women with DDs.

[Anonymous No.8537127]

I know this feel.

I occasionally will offload armor I make since its big as fuck, and while its cool to have my house look like an armory, I just have too little room to do it effectively.

I usually have to let it go for way less then its worth (labor wise). Which leads people to try and commission me for sets for fractions of what they would cost and then cite the craigslist or facebook posting.

So its almost easier to just bin it, which is a shame. But such is life on the Cl. Easier to just dump it then give it to some cheap cunt.

i haven't sold a costume yet but i have a len kagamine and a Homura costume i want to get rid of so bad but i'd like cash for it. i feel like unless i sell it to a friend it'll never work though (i don't think i'll sell that len wig though, its gaudy and babbys first cosplay worthy)

[Anonymous No.8537144]

That cosplay seems pretty overpriced because

1- materials couldn't have cost that much
2- the sewing looks wonky around the waist of the dress
3- it's inaccurate to boot

[Anonymous No.8537152]

>>8537108
I do the same, which is why I like to keep receipts and records of what I buy for costumes for awhile afterwards.

[Anonymous No.8537230]

If it's a costume I bought, I usually sell a little less than what I bought it for. If it's a costume I made, I look up how much it's going for on ebay, and then choose a price depending on how popular the cosplay is. A popular cosplay can be sold for more than the ebay price.

[Anonymous No.8537354]

A lot of my cosplays include normalfag clothes so I usually wear bits and pieces out and about. Generally I just end up selling specific items rather than full cosplays. Wigs go for 10€ - 30€ depending on style, quality, brand etc. Wigs styled for specific characters go for more even if they're often harder to sell than something generic. I try and sell things at cons with a attenee's market because then I can raise prices a little and trust people will buy on impulse and without being savvy on shopping online.

Is it just me or have the price of Disney costumes soared since "princess parties" took off? Especially wigs. I can understand a lot of money for Rapunzel wigs, or like Merida or Jasmine, but things like Tinkerbell, Ariel or Snow White are just not that complicated. I bought my Sleeping Beauty wig off eBay for $15, styled the bangs in about ten minutes, and got loads of compliments on it, but people are selling ones for $150+. Kudos to you if you can make that kind of money, but I don't really understand it. Same goes for shiny satin princess costumes.

[Anonymous No.8537951]

>>8537932
Literally all she has to do is go to Joann or Hancock and she'll be able to find the same fabric or something very similar for a cheaper price, plus theres coupons. Why would you drop so much money buying fabric from the New York fashion district when you live in California. "My costumes are expensive bc I have to buy so much for them to ship it to me" That's not an excuse to upcharge the costume unless all the fabric is gonna be used in said costume.

[Anonymous No.8537964]

>>8537951
Why did she handsew the dress? There aren't any complicated stitched that machines can't handle for Lapis, does she not have a sewing machine? If she can invest all that money in buying fabric from the other side of the country, how come she can't buy a cheap sewing machine? I swear, some people.

[Anonymous No.8537971]

>>8537964
This was about the Mememe dress, you have to dig through takisiski's twitter for the fit over people complaining about her Lapis dress price. Tayla hand sewed fabric over a bra for her striped bra and panties though. If she handsewed that entire dress I would be very concerned.

[Anonymous No.8537974]

When I sell its because I've outgrown the costume, or just don't think I'll wear it again. I usually price things at cost of materials only. I'm not going to make someone pay for the labor on a costume I made for myself and then wore several times.

If I made something specifically to sell I'd probably charge minimum wage for labor, since I don't think I'm that amazing and I lack some tools for professional finish (like a serger)

[Anonymous No.8537977]

>>8536941
This should be 100 tops including the wig and shoes. It's not even nicely made, the waist is doing weird stuff. The rest looks pretty good.

I basically give my stuff away after it's done for at or under material cost (30 or 40 bucks for a full simple costume) because while my stuff looks pretty good on the outside the construction is not the greatest.

On a related note I will be forever salty about this awful buyer who bought from me once. The item in question was a hand made costume for $30 plus postage (with the flaws carefully spelled out).

When it arrived she proceeded to tell me how awful it is and how she literally couldn't wear it. She even admitted to having read the listing and seeing the flaws but still bought it anyway. She accused me of using bad materials (mind you she was trying to sell some paper thin see through cotton Chinese made mass produced crap costumes of her own and mine were made of the nicer type of joAnn knit which cost me 12 bucks a yard.) I was floored. She also pissed and moaned about how expensive it was, (yes, a complete costume including custom shoes for 45 bucks shipped) just to give you an idea of what type of person I was dealing with. In the end I had no choice but to refund as I highly suspected she would just open a dispute against me and/or tank my feedback. She wanted her $ back, and sadly I had to give it to her. I kept the postage money though. She was really happy in the end.

My friends think she did it on purpose and scammed me. I really have no idea, she maybe was just really stupid. All I can say is let the seller beware of selling to people online who expect $200 quality for under $50 bucks. I am forever afraid to sell things to people now, this stupid experience really upset me.

You don't need a serger for professional finish. People these days equate professional with factory made, which is such bullshit. The point of sergers is to replace nicer and more elegant finishing techniques (rolled or invisible hem, french seams, etc) with ones which are cheaper and easier to mass produce. If you're hand making a single costume and have the time, it's so much nicer to use a fancier finish. Especially true for historical costumes where sergers don't even make sense.

>>8537932
$70 total materials cost for Lapis is not totally outrageous if you're using very nice materials. I'd take a small step down in terms of cost per yard, but that dress would still clock in around $50 for materials. This girl is a nitwit but thinking the materials for a "simple" costume should automatically be very cheap is part of the problem.

Or to sew stretchy fabrics. There are also times when the reduced bulk of an overlock finish is preferable to Hong Kong or french seams. Back in the day, people simply pinked the edges of fabric instead. Ready to wear is not couture, and the considerations for wearability are different.

If the costume was made out of, say, swimsuit material like that one anon's, then I could see it being a little more expensive, but even then.. Not $200.

I only sell the costumes that I've bought in the first place because I don't feel that my craftsmanship is on a level worthy of asking for money for something I've made.

Agreed. I live in a super small city and all we have is Joanns. Most of what they stock is for the fleece and quilt crowd. I end up getting most of my fabric from Fabric.com and a few other places online.

But still, budgeting, finding coupons, and waiting for sales is what a huge part of the cosplay community sucks at. That's how we get people bragging about spending $200+ on simple costumes.

Eh, if you're not shopping at Joanns, none of this is really applicable. Fabrics don't really go on sale, there aren't coupons, you may not want to wait or make multiple trips to save a few dollars, and if you're going to be spending hours making something it's not crazy to buy the nicer fabric or better matching material. And if you're doing commissions, you can't really factor materials cost based on coupons or catching a sale.

[Anonymous No.8539071]

>>8538072
Maybe because I'm on the smaller side, but I usually only buy a max of 3 yards of a fabric for a costume, and I usually only need a yard and a half. Then there are notions like a zipper as well, but they usually don't equal too much more.
Hypothetical: If I were to cosplay Lapis, I'd probably buy 2 yards of the light blue and half a yard of the dark blue. I wouldn't line it because I'd want it to be as light and flowy as possible. If I use $15/yard materials, that'd be about $37.50 before tax, about $40 afterwards. Then two colors of thread and a long zipper would equal maybe another $10. $50 altogether. I would never spend that much though, because I'd use a 40% off coupon on the large cut of fabric, making it go down from $30 to $18. I probably wouldn't use a $15/yard fabric in the first place though, more likely $8-$12 for Lapis. If she lives in California then I'm sure she has a real fabric store with options near her and doesn't need to get it shipped in from somewhere else.

[Anonymous No.8539106]

>>8539071
I line dresses for improved drape and wear and there are only two fabrics worth buying at Joann's so I would not be using a 40% off coupon for materials. $50 in materials for a fully finished dress is pretty normal for people who make everyday clothing. If you make your cosplay like everyday clothing... well, it costs the same.

[Anonymous No.8539148]

>>8539057
Uh, not sure why you think budgeting is irrelevant. Budgeting is pretty essential regardless of where you shop or what you're making if you want to stay on track. I mean budgeting as in setting aside funds or knowing a limit of spending per paycheck for cosplay so as to not leave yourself short when you need to pay for things required for maintaining life such as rent, food, utilities etc. If you're still a kid living at home, completely different story. But everyone should know what their limit is per paycheck or month and plan accordingly. Maybe it means you save up a bit more to buy all that fabric at once. Maybe it means you buy some stuff this week, get paid, buy the rest next week.

For the other tips, perhaps I should've said everyone's mileage may vary because everyone is different.

Coupons and sales happen at places other than Joanns or Hancock Fabrics. It depends where you shop and what you need. Fabric.com does sales though it can depend on what you need vs what they put on sale and they sometimes have coupons too (though they are far less frequent than they used to be and you have to dig for them.) Some places have coupons and discounts if you sign up for their newsletters so it's worth reading their information on their sites and even social networking pages like FB and Twitter. Fashion Fabrics Club and Denver Fabrics do this amongst other sites.Some of my favorite trim shops have twitter-only coupons that work on their site. Again, the places I mentioned are more general but some people can find what they need so it seemed worth mentioning the fact that you can find ways to get discounts.

As far as commissions, I never gave quotes based on thinking there'd be sales or coupons because you're right, you never know AND half the time I gave quotes, clients would take their sweet-ass time getting back to me because they are teens/early 20 somethings. So much time could elapse that pricing can change.

I don't think budgeting is "irrelevant." I've been sewing for a very long time, and have enough experience to know that things tend to cost what they cost when you're trying to match colors, prints, or textures to a pre-existing design and aren't willing to cut corners. Cost has really only ever been relevant or a decision when considering very high end fabrics (yes, polyester chiffon is cheaper than silk) or when I am sewing regular clothing and can pick up nice fabrics on clearance and match fabric to project rather than the other way around.

Well, I personally grew up in a super rich family, having houses in other states for vacations. I think it has more to do with people who never had much finally realizing that they CAN have this stuff if they play their cards right. To be honest.. Ive had poor friends take advantage of people like this a lot and it bothers me. I was used by a friend who wasn't in such good graces as me financially and it took a while for me to realize it and break ties with her.

Spoiling your kids a lot of the time has nothing to do with how they perceive things. I was spoiled, but I never asked for the things given to me and even now, as I am older, I still don't ask for stuff. I prefer to do it all on my own, make my own money, and get what I need for myself. I think thats easier for rich kids than with people who never had much because once you realize how to work out a system to get stuff you've never had, THEN you become spoiled.

I used to have some mutual friends with her a few years back and as a result, I've hung around her at cons, as well as at meets since she was in my cosplay comm, so I've seen my share of things. I've literally seen her steal merch in the dealers room at a con right in front of me when vendors weren't looking, so I can confirm that the rumors are true.

nothing too specific, as i said just rumours about her shoplifting a lot

>>8548783
a lot of my friends and i have wishlists and we'll sometimes surprise each other if we have some spare cash and we'll use them for birthdays/christmas. i feel bad whenever it isn't used like this

I'd buy the costume only to sniff the panties and dress up a hooked with the outfit

Oh wait $200 bucks for a cum rag fuck that

oh my god, i just saw it in the other thread and i'm so sorry about everything. you would think she would have gotten her shit together after the madoka commission, but i guess some things never change. shame, because the fabric looks really cozy.

Eeeeey fellow Nordics!

In Finland a regular cotton can be over 12$. I'm always salty for USA and their fabric prizes.

>Tayla's sewing being this shitty
>charging money for that awful thing
>charging $200 for her mememe dress thats probably just as bad

Jesus fucking christ I want to sell my old cosplays but hesitate because I think they'd get pissed at something being 1/4 a centimeter off

Did anyone notice in the right picture it looks like her nipple was smeared out and she was wearing a barbell when you zoom all the way in?

[Anonymous No.8550646]

>>8550485
Barbell? Do you mean the weights anon?

[Anonymous No.8550930]

>>8550646
Anon means barbelle as in the jewelry that goes in piercings. And yeah I see what you mean. Kind of looks like it.

It was a discussion on how people feel about the price of used cosplay. Paprika only became super relevant to the thread because she charges a lot for her used costumes and as >>8550039 pointed out, her sewing is really bad.
Although the comments on her body are irrelevant to this discussion.

Anyone that cosplays as Me!Me!Me! really doesn't understand the source material, but I guess that's nothing new to cosplay

[Anonymous No.8556085]

>>8550485
nah. I have mine pierced and it would be in totally the wrong spot on her if that's true. plus with how tight the bra and dress are you shouldn't be able to see any kind of piercing through them

[Anonymous No.8556713]

>>8542578
Agreed. Tbh her measurements/body type is similar to mine and if she had a 26 inch waist she would look way thinner at the waist.

[Anonymous No.8556741]

>>8555853
While most of them probably don't, I don't see how cosplaying her means that someone doesn't understand the source material? That doesn't make sense.

Like I appreciate it took a lot of time to hand embroider all that, but that's... not what they should have done. It doesn't look good.

[Anonymous No.8558246]

>>8558222
should have put that on a blanket or quilt or some shit. not on something for cosplay.

In any case $200 for a Me!Me!Me! dress? That shit better have Jesus' hair woven into the fabric goddamn
