Okay I want to buy this costume (link down lower), but I'm not sure if its a rip off or it wont be good material or what.
This is my first time buying anything off Ebay.

Well, as everyone did say the shipping IS expensive. Though I don't know where you in stores you can buy a SM costume and on other sites the costumes don't look as good as the one on ebay. I know some that do look very good, but they are priced in the 200's, so my advice is ask the seller a couple questions and yeah go for it, buy it! =]

To be honest, I'm like the queen of ebay. Some people don't know how to really research on ebay. You'll find that same costume deep down in pages 10-60 on ebay for dirt cheap. I would not suggest giving someone $170 for a halloween costume. You outta just pick another sexy "pirate" costume or close to the "pirate wench" one that you want. I bought plenty of costumes for dirt cheap on ebay last halloween, but I was glad I researched real hard because my friend paid $80 for the same one I have and I only paid $32 just because I looked on every page on ebay for that costume for a better deal.. Now be reasonable, sometimes buying a costume for a high price on ebay, you'll do better just buying it in an actual halloween store..but if you think you are getting a better deal on ebay, than go for it!

i've always had very good experience with ebay...and this seller has a high satisfaction rating (99.2%)...doesn't tell what the material is, but most costumes aren't high-high quality. if there were more time left, you could click on 'ask the seller a question' but it only has 18 hrs left so they probably wouldn't get back with you in time.
if you really like it, and have the money to spend, i'd say 'go for it'
EDIT: didn't see the shipping cost; too high for me but up to you

ALWAYS check the price of shipping before you buy something off ebay. The item can be $0.01 and have a $150 shipping charge. You did notice that shipping would cost the same price as the actual item right? You'd be spending about $80 for it.

The costume looks ok but the shipping charges are outrageous. I would not bid on that costume unless I was prepared to spend that much on shipping from CHINA (which is where the seller is from).

I guess it's taking a chance, but my girlfriend bought her costume off ebay last year ( the princess leia bikini slave outfit when shes being held by jabba the hutt) and she looked so good. I was jealous I hadn't thought of it first. She was original & SEXY. so I say go for it. Hope you win a costume contest!!!!!

Check the persons feedback, that is the surest way of safety...I shop on ebay almost everyday...and have been very successsful! you can read other customers feedback comments as to how their experience went with that seller, if the item was as described, if it shipped quickly etc....good luck

Looks legit to me. But if you feel uncomfortable, go to a costume shop and buy one. You'd probably pay about the same price.

Did you notice that the shipping is $38.00? This item is in China. Personally, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't buy anything that came from China.
