I don't know much about the costume business, but in business in general the first thing thing to learn is to never assume. Alway find out 100% and get it in writting. There are a lot of shady people out there. You're going to also want to inspect and document the condition of every costume so that you can reasearch what they're worth. You don't want to end up with one nice costume and 1999 crappy ones.

I just heard about an opportunity to buy a costume business and recalled that someone of one of these lists was discussing such a prospect that came up in Denver, CO. I am a costume person, not a business person and know absolutely nothing about such purchases. I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of costume rental/construction businesses or if anyone here owns/runs one and might be able to give me some insight. All I know so far is that the owner wants 30 grand for 2000 costumes and equipment, I assume.
