oh wow. what a fun site! Are they legit? Those prices should come with a certified statement that XYZ person sweated in this item, LOL!
An interesting site indeed!
And I thought I was expensive!!! :D
I bet they aren't as well made as your stuff... ;) Huge mark-up because of who wore them, I expect.
At least they offer a payment plan!

Once I sweat in my new Lady Kathleen original, we'll see if I can sell my ensemble for $5,000... I'm thinking....no.
At least yours is washable, Merlin. ;D
The outfits on this site were made for the individual actors, and are supposed to have certified provenance.
Most of the extras and actors in minor roles were clothed by costume and prop rental companies of which there are a few in Hollywood that cater to the studios. Those generic costumes are recycled till they wear out, so you don't usually see those for sale.
It would make sense for the studios to work with a 'consignment' contractor like this to dispose of one of a kind costumes and props that they can't reuse. They make some of the $$ back and don't have to pay to store them somewhere. Recognizable pieces would be hard to sell to the rental companies, but will bring big bucks as a collectable.
