LOTR Costumes

Brian and I have Arwen and Aragorn costumes that we're thinking of selling. They are really beautiful and very decent quality (particularly the Aragorn armor), but we just don't wear them. They were worn at Dragoncon 2004 and Halloween 2004, that's it.

Now that hype of the LOTR movies has died down, I'm not sure how much interest there is out there (he's already posted on the Replica Props Forum, but there hasn't been interest there). Were any of you looking to aquire something like this:

Dress is from Museum Replicas, Headpiece was custom made

Aragorn ROTK armor:

We're just putting out some feelers right now to see if there may be interest and haven't really thought of a price yet. We're not looking to kill anyone, just looking to get back what we put into them. Anyone?

Is a Museum Replicas "Medium", the bust is around 38" or so (and is the smallest part of the dress). I ordered a medium and they sent me something with a medium tag but it was HUGE (it would have fit Brian). A tailoring friend took it in to its current 38" state. She also added a loop of pearls at the bottom of the skirt train, so that I could walk with it without it dragging - its quite long.

I think I paid around $140 for it. Brian spent about $30 on materials for the crown (and a ton of time making it), so I think I'd be happy to get around $125 or so for them both (shipping would be separate). I'll throw in the shoes and ears too - they cost next to nothing and aren't totally accurate, but they worked well enough (size 8.5 slip ons).
