there are few places that i know where to buy cosplay relating items, this includes items, wigs, and costumes. so i'm wondering if i should make a list of places that i do know, however i do not know that many, since... well i haven't bought a whole lot myself, this is really for the beginners/friends that want to know a few decent sites [welcoming my more experienced people gave me some suggestions as well]

Taobao:
pros: it's cheap... very cheap
generally like e-bay

cons: you need a paypal [no duh]
it's in chinese... [i'll add some stuff that might help]
questionable quality?

what i used to search up cosplay costumes: cos 服装
what i used to search up cosplay wigs: COS假发
^ if you plan on ordering from here, TRY to get it from the same seller ^ also remember possible shipping costs!

E-bay:
pros: it's in english so surfing should be no problem

cons: it tends to get pricey depending on the seller....
shipping is always a b*tch

[i think you can figure out how to get here]

Bodyline:
pros: FAIRLY cheap/reasonably priced cosplay/lolita shop
have various sizes which is always good

cons: shipping...
contests are fixed and also... owner is a pervert [that is if you enter] where i referring to??? [link]
the person who typed it is a fairly reliable loli well known on the AE site, i don't think she would type up something pointless.

thats all that i know xD hahaha sorry

EDIT:
here are some sellers [on e-bay and/or taobao] that i know of/ my friends know of:

Cosplay Wig:
the name says it all doesn't it? fairly pricy, be prepared to pay up to $80's on the wig with shipping. the quality of the wig... is quite good i would have to say.

*from
Kucos: one of the more reliable sellers, but its cheaper if you buy a wig from them on their TaoBao. They're one of the pricier sellers, but its usually high quality and quite a few of their wigs can be straightened and are heat resistant.

when it comes to cosplays there is nothing wrong with buying, or making it :3 the fun you have with your friends/other cosplayers is what counts!
