Now more than ever sourcing second hand for costumes should become a part of the cosplay community. Even if you can't find what you're looking for, you may find things for others, or be able to rehome pieces you'll never wear again.

Another reason to use @lumikhacosplay.com ? Just sold my Mitsuru boots to another cosplayer. They've just been sitting in storage and will now actually serve a purpose again!

Thankfully we've already hit our funding goal for this month, but any further donations will be put towards the cost of the platform in the coming months!!!!! Deeply deeply appreciate the support everyone has shown me.

I have been struggling to keep the marketplace afloat, and humbly ask for your help. If Lumikha is a resource you see value in, please share or support in any way that you can.

I hope we can overcome this and Lumikha can continue being a resource for cosplayers for years to come.

Please support if our online marketplace or in person markets have helped you in any way. We would be grateful for any support or shares!

This past weekend, Lumikha Cosplay Resale temporarily closed.

Thank you to all who have supported us.

As a small business owner I often struggle to reach out for help, as I take on all of the day to day operations of the marketplace and the financial burden of running a marketplace.

#cosplay

In the past 4.5 years, Lumikha has rehomed hundreds of costumes, props, wigs and more.

We’ve hosted 5 in person cosplay markets, rehoming 75+ items at these pop up events alone.

Due to financial hardship, the repeated abuse of the platform (offsite transactions), attacks by scammers, and the increase in cost of maintaining the platform, Lumikha Cosplay Resale is currently down.

If you would like to support the platform moving forward, please consider supporting on Ko-fi, where we have migrated all donations and support.

I’m doing my best to keep the platform going, but it has honestly been very difficult to do so in the last year.

Are you someone who doesn't know what to do with your unworn #cosplay or Halloween costumes?

I created Lumikha Cosplay Resale back in 2021 to curb fast fashion for cosplayers & costume wearers! Buy & sell preloved wigs, costumes, props, fabric and more!

This is such a great idea. So much easier than having to put it up on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist

We had a fantastic time at #Cosplay World!

It was our first time attending the event & we were so excited to be invited and host the Lumikha Cosplay Market for the #RVA cosplay community 🩷🩵

Hearing "I was so excited you'd be here!" made my heart sooo warm!! We sold a bunch of secondhand cosplay🥰

I have SO MANY costumes that I want to list on Lumikha. Here’s hoping I can finally get around to it soon. 😭

The best thing you can do for a small business when you can't financially support is to tell someone about it!

Many people I talk to say they would have used Lumikha #Cosplay Resale sooner to buy/sell secondhand if they had known about it. Please help to keep spreading the word💖

I've used it myself to rehome wigs and a few costumes! It's worth taking a look here first before buying new. You never know what you might find.

Before I buy a wig or store-bought cosplay, I always check to see if anyone has already posted it on Lumikha!

I’ll also be doing a cosplay closet clean out this Summer and will definitely be posting on this platform~

Especially in light of the tariff nonsense, this is a really good time to start shopping second-hand! Help keep costumes out of landfills and give them new homes and memories 💖 I just successfully rehomed a costume through them myself (just waiting for payment )
