Since this is our hobby, we are members of various costume and prop forums. Often we trade parts to complete costumes and that saves money.
Kim is right on my own costumes and the cost. I make crap money each year, but still manage to buy costume parts as needed. Example, for the Iron Man I sold off two of my older Star Wars costumes and a bunch of extra costume parts and used the money to purchase the Iron Man.
She mentioned trading and such. For her own suits, on the open market her Sandtrooper is the most expensive she owns, but she got the majority of her Sandtrooper parts from other costumers as "hand me downs" when they upgraded their own parts, so in dollars actually spent it was not her most expensive costume to make (but in buying it new, it would be). Her Illyria would be worth some good money because it's an extremely rare costume so not many people own one, and people sometimes pay a lot of money for things like that.
