You want how much for Richie Rich?

Awww yeah, some of you KNOW what I'm talking about. Lil' old lady has heard, as we all have, tales of how old comics are now worth BAZILLIONS of bucks...and he has labeled her dog-eared Uncle Scrooges to reflect this. She's got GOLD, pure gold, and when you try to talk her down...she just assumes your young whipper-snapping ass knows the worth and wants to rob her (and, probably, snap her whipper in the process of doing so...)

I still want this.

I've sold one of my from scratch gold costumes to have extra cash in my paypal to get it (and other things I might want)...

But, the seller seems to think that a 500$ or so reserve is realistic...that there's a market for this item that involve us hanging it on a wall and looking at it. Seller also thinks that used polyester slips from an estate sale should start at 8$ and up...Seller also confided in me that he originally took photos where the bra was upsidedown..and then he found the photos. Those photos seem to have convinced him of the PURE GOLDEN he has..god knows what the folks at the estate sale told him.

(sigh)

New costumes: Expensive
Old Assuit: Expensive
Things that are actually Museaum Quality and belong behind glass: Expensive
Costumes made and worn to death by American cabaret-style dancers are lucky to be in one piece...period.
Never been cleaned? Probably can't? Tiny? Heavy? That's real sweat?: Not the selling points you might want to be using.

The more I look at it, the more I think it was made by the same person who made the gold costume I bought for 80$ and fixed...or a friend of hers. Looking at the photos, I think I've seen some of those other costumes not sell for higher reserves and then eventually go to dancers for around 60$-100$ I hope this is the case.

This is the interior photo he sent me:

Yeah. Mmmmmm. Drink that up...go ahead...I'm waiting...tastes like sweat, degraded latex foam, and history...mostly the former.

$500??

Dude. Seriously, I'm still stuck on the fact that part of it looks like those christmas tree balls from the late 60's that were styrofoam with thread going over it to make it look all glossy...

I know you rehabbed the other one, but wow. Just wow.
