My husband's favorite tale is one of showing up at the stated bookstore to
sing up for the rental gown at xxxfee and the salesman took him aside and
said "I don't want to disuade you from getting a new one, but if you step
over here, you might change your mind."
I asked about ordering a "real" gown instead of the crappy one, and was
told they were special order and had to be ordered further in
advance than the
time remaining before commencement. It does seem there were be a market
for used ones, though.
But more important than that ... The Crappy Gown ran me about $80 in
2007. A *real* gown was going to be about $800 ... IIRC, that was on
sale .....
