In this case, it depends if the seller themselves were trustworthy enough. Are you specifically wanting to buy the yuna costume? Honestly, the quality is really really poor.

Misarylane · 02-13-2007, 03:24 PM

No, I was looking them up for a friend, I kinda ran into them by mistake. I agree on the quality though. Thanks Miyori.

Does anyone have any experience with cosplay-design.com, either with their eBay store or website? This is what I'm looking at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6297&rd=1&rd=1
They have 100% positive feedback, but there are several "mutually withdrawn" negative feedbacks. I wanted to find someone on there who bought the same costume and gave positive feedback, but most of them are listed as private.

If you have any evidence backing up your theory, I'd like to see it. A lot people don't say ebay costumes are "cheap, shotty and not accurate" because they are jealous. Some people who give testimonials actually have bought a costume from ebay and are voicing their opinions. Costumers who tell customers to beware are warning them of the risks. Nobody is "jealous" of ebay bought costumes. It takes a lot of hard work in making costumes and people have a lot of pride in their own work. The only reason I see fit for cosplayers to discourage bought costumes is when they actually compete in it and claim it as their own.

One of my friends ordered some wings from Feral and they were gorgeous.

jani · 02-15-2007, 05:05 PM

Has anyone ever ordered from Blackcerenity.com? Finding they make Die's DRAIN AWAY outfit after an excruciating time scouring the internet for white suits in my size (they don't exist) is absolutely orgasmic, but they don't have any pictures up of it.

Actually, that totally wasn't my question at all because I stopped being stupid and looked at pictures of OTHER suits they've done (look pretty fly). My question is actually, how long did it take to receive your order?

jester44 · 02-15-2007, 05:09 PM

Jani, I was looking through this thread the other day (SOOO many pages) and I'm pretty sure I saw blackcerenity mentioned, I believe in a negative way...Still, I'm not 100% sure on that, it might have been a different thread for that matter. I'll try to find the post again.

Iv only been ripped off 5 times so far. But I know in my heart not everyone is bad out there. So just cause of an few bad experance I still move on.
I was ripped off by
Elf Eater's Broken Sunglasses. (I won agent them But they are no longer around)
DarkDragonFly aka Wigs by Camatha
LimbBarb. (i wasnt ripped off by them But ahaha it took half an year to get what I ordered.)
Setsuna Kou. I asked her to maken a Ishtar costume for me from Macross 2.& she made it all wrong. & charges WAY to much to begin with.
BlackCerenity

Heres an link of others whom do commissions though
http://www.nyx.net/~wsantoso/cospcomm.html

aww wouldnt it be nice if there were honest people still left?
It just seams to me the cosplay world is starting to really attract some bad people v,v. I wish things would go back to the way it use to be.
Nice friendly happy people. Everyone so willing to help. Costume were simple and no one fought over whoms costume is the best. *sigh*

OK, she says BlackCerenity ripped her off, but she doesn't say why. I'd try PMing her to find out what happened.

Ohh, I just used the handy-dandy search function (where is my brain today?), and found a whole thread about her -- all bad stuff. :O Thanks for that!

Leitha · 02-15-2007, 05:54 PM

Crap, I think I just got scammed.

I'll post more on this when I'm more sure...

jester44 · 02-15-2007, 06:22 PM

Anyone ordered anything from fan-store.net? This is what I'm looking at at the moment...

You sound a bit bitter ^^ And those are nice recommendations, but certainly no regulations to follow. I've done business with four or five commissioners who all required full payment up front, didn't offer references, did costuming for a living and who all claimed professional and academic experience.
I took the risks, and have yet to ever have a poor experience ^^ It depends on the individual; there are no established global rules.
