There are three groups of Superman costume buyers who are likely to end up paying less for the costumes. Those include:
- Superman costume buyers who opt to buy the costumes directly from the manufacturer. Nowadays, thanks to advances in e-commerce, it is possible to buy stuff directly from the manufacturers (through the manufacturers’ e-stores). Should you, as a Superman costume buyer opt to take this route, you can end up paying a very pocket-friendly price for a (genuine) Superman costume.
- Superman costume buyers who opt to buy the costumes from overstock stores. Since the objective in these stores is simply to get rid of excess stock (as opposed to making specific profit margins), the prices at which items are sold there tend to be very pocket-friendly.
- Superman costume buyers who opt to buy the costumes in bulk. These are accorded ‘bulk discounts’ and, if their orders are big enough, they may also be accorded ‘trade discounts’ (especially if they are buying the costumes with the intention of eventually going on to resell them).
