The Costume Resale Market
Now everyone has participated in it one time or another. In the past, a resale has meant paying the deposit and a few extra for the person's pocket. I was just reading Englishharbour's post and wondering if people will be willing to pay full value for costumes on the IP resale market.
 Just curious. |

Would you pay full price? Honestly, IP or any other band, I would not pay full price, I would try to negotiate. Cause if someone is out $600 better they take my $500 then get stuck with $600 debt and still don't travel to Trinidad. Last edited by zenzele1; 10-03-2006 at 02:24 PM.. |

From someone who has resold quite a few costumes, offering ppl less will only work if we are talking about 1 week before Carnival or something.
Based on my experience demand is usually greater than supply so yuh almost guaranteed to get your costume sold. Generally I get about 4 serious queries on every costume I have had for sale. So if yuh really want the cosutme that may not be a great move. Heck if ppl could make a business out of buying costumes just to sell to ppl for a profit then know some of us get desperate when it comes to our mas. Hi CC  |

But I wouldn't pay more than the downpayment.

I would agree with this premise generally, but I think alot more folks are going to be leery about buying a resale at full price, but we shall see once Carnival Junction starts up again. Hi Missy |
