now my problems are i dont know if i should trust either site so im wondering if anyone can give me some opinions on those sites if people have ever used them can they be trusted i mean its a healthy amount i would just be throwing away if they cant be trusted so anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. And if those 2 dont work out for me im going to attempt either the mad love look with joker in a black suit, maybe come up with my owsn idea (im thinkin of a more stylish joker u know possibly white suit w/purple vest and green tie maybe white dress shirt to go with it, or last (but not my final idea) im thinking of buying this suit off of ebay

with a black or purple hat to go along with it to give it the jack nicholson joker look ie:

First off, good choice. Secondly, I've never used any site to purchase anything. I bought my suit piece by piece at Goodwill and other second hand stores. I am currently trying my hand at creating my own vest. The hardest thing for me that I've found is the face paint. I go the Cesar Romero way and don't shave. This makes it a bit difficult during long conventions, it starts to crack and my goatee starts to show thru. I know this isn't much help but I hope it offers some insight.
