There have to be a thousand old costumes in my closet at this moment.
And I have no idea what to do with them.
I really want to sell them and get some money for it. But I don't know where!!
Selling things on the internet don't work for me. So is there any stores you know about that would buy costums from someone?
Or at least take them out of my closet?!

The Internet would be the ideal place, but I understand why you wouldn't want to do it.
I also suggest taking it to a local dance school and donating or selling them.
Maybe you can even refurbish them into outfits you can wear.
Good Luck

Have you thought about a garage sale or possible a
second hand store that sells things on consignment. You
would be amazed at the things people will buy at a garage
sale. You can name your price and if you have to dicker,
that's alright, too. It is a lot of hard work and you may want
to enlist your friends to help in exchange for a costume of
their choice. Just a thought. We live in an apartment and
have no place to do anything like that. But, it could be a lot
of fun and profitable, too.

you need to go to a costume shop, not the kind that sell cheap halloween costumes, but the kind that rent them to theaters. They might take them off your hands for a good price. I used to work in an antique store that around Halloween we rented out costumes. My boss was always looking for different costumes and she would pay top dollar for them. I also suggest have a yard sale 1-2 months before halloween.

You could donate them to a charity, but it may also be fun for you to give them to the little children in your life. Children love to play dress up and would think a costume to be a rare and wonderful gift.

You could always donate them to a needy dance school or a school that puts on a lot of plays. You may not get any money, but you know they will be going to a good cause.

If you sell them to a studio they can use them and take them to a fitters and make more of that costume!

Questions, but no clues.
Where do you live? If you live in Los Angeles, take them down to Melrose to those funky clothing stores - the smaller one's are owned by designers who'll snatch them up and re-make them.

Look for dance schools around you they may take them off your hands and sell them.

You could donate them to a college dance club, or to some other kind of underfunded dance organization.
