Help on selling a costume.... Please?!?!

Apr 30, 2008 23:37

Ok, I've sold accessories & parts to costumes before, but never whole costumes.  And never anything I've put as much work, or money, into as my Paine costume.  So my question is, if I were to go about selling my costume, what are some things I should consider when deciding a price?

I put over $500 into this costume and I worked on it, on & off, for over 2 years (I'm a perfectionist so I kept finding things on it I had to fix).  I've worn it a few times, but it's still in excellent condition.  It's very well made (sturdy & what-not) and has very few iffy spots (i.e. the back of the wrap has a bit of silver on it that rubbed off from the wig).  It won Best In Show for Construction at AWA last year.  And I'd like include everything (shoes, wig, sword, jewlry, etc).

So, taking all that into consideration, what do you guys think a reasonable price would be?

Here are some pictures of the Paine costume I'm talking about
