Thread: do you sell your costumes from past halloweens?

Tweet

Im debating on if to sell my costume from last year or not. I did spend alot of money on it and I think I could sell it on ebay or somewhere. What do you guys do? Keep it for sentimental reasons or get rid of it?!

I don't sell mine. I have built a collection and I can rotate thru over the years. The kids costumes I usually donate to neighborhood children to help and enhance the neighborhood participation.

I always keep mine. Sometimes I modify them into props and the more girly ones i keep for...well...occasional use. Who says dress up is a game for kids? not us lol

same here , i keep them and sometimes alter them.On occasion will lend them....but not too often,usually get trashed that way.

I've donated a couple, but I pretty much hang onto mine, too; it makes things much easier having a variety of choices...

Yup. I like to recreate movie costumes for giggles

I have a big cardboard box full of costumes from my family. Some of em' are from the 80s. I wouldn't sell or give them away, just for sentimental reasons, and the fact that they are awesomely vintage

well my mom used to rent them and when my husband and I moved in with, we werent smart enough to keep them. Keep in mind, yes we regreated it. So I am starting all over again in keeping the costumes

I keep'em and then recycle/ reuse them over the years.
I have lent out a few here and there.
One year my brother showed up with out , so I said dig something out of the closet.
He went in the WRONG closet and pulled out some sweaters from the 80's....
OK, so I need to rethink my current wardrobe.......

I've used a few of them to make my Gemmy characters better because some of the costumes cost as much as the Gemmy character did....If I didn't do that, I'd probably just hold on to them....ZR
