I am really surprised with carnival less than a month away that there are so few costumes for re-sale....I do not know if you noticed but many of the postings on fineahban and carnivaljunction are for costumes wanted....I know the stage is back this year but dayum.....is everyone who put down a deposit really goin play mas? By this time in previous years there were tons of re-sales...what do you think changed?



p.s. I am already sorted...

yeah it is a weird year.........some people may still be down to d wire and end up cancelling

I know quite a few people with costumes and no plane ticket, hotel or spending them. But they refuse to give up their costume, to them that's the last straw of hope lol. Also, a lot of ppl who are selling costumes don't even get to post it on those sites because there is someone who knows someone who need a costume.

was just mentioning to somebody during the summer certain bands were bombarded by locals very early in d game........so is probably less foreigners dan years b4......and d recession

i dont understand holding on...not much people will be in need at the VERY last minute...then the prices actually go down...as folks will organize on the ground either with friends or mas camps. I have 2 friends looking for Yuma costumes but it look like they are in the most demand after viewing those sites and trinijunglejuice...well all i could say is next year, folks need to get in early...self included...

That is why I does tell people that costumes can sometimes be the hardest thing to secure so make sure you get that FIRST! Put down a deposit somewhere even if you not sure you going Trini, it is easier to sell than to buy later on (especially in the 'HOT' bands)

I have a costume to sell in Yuma . A friend of mind cancel out last minute.

Facebook band pages. The carnivaljunction/fineahban killer.

You find more on the facebook for each band and the carnivaljunction/fineahban FACEBOOK pages than on the sites themselves.

I've even seen people who know about the band but have no idea that carnivaljunction and fineahban (neither fb nor site) even exist.

So hit fb and good luck! (ok tell that to whoever asks you since i just noticed you already sorted lol)

Also behind the scenes sales going on too. I've done that. Somebody tell somebody keep them in mind...and that's what they do.

Definitely. If i had never posted here nor my blog my costumes would still have been sold and fast too cause my collegemate who going have people who need costume and is just she didn't tell me when to expect to hear back from her and i said available til actually sold so I stuck to that...

check yuh pm

Anyone need a costume I know someone with a YUMA libra backline for sale size 34 A and Large bottom....

They had already posted on the band pages on FB with no luck....I am sure that the band will still sell some costumes to certain individuals cause that's just how it goes...I guess all they could do is keep posting and reachin out to people until something come thru...

I feel you...they are not carnival virgins so normally they would...but like me, they waited too long and the band sell out fast...I was the only one able to get thru afta they sell out though...
