Should you buy a second hand bikini or posing heels?

Buying a second-hand competition bikini suit or pair of posing shoes can be a great way to cut the cost! At KOMPAK we offer The Marketplace, where girls can list their second-hand items at a heavily discounted price. A lot of the products may have only been worn once so it’s not only a great way to recycle but also means we can support each other in the industry! 

As much as we are proud of all of the amazing benefits, like anything it comes with its cons! So we want to offer our honest advice about using it to help you know whether buying second-hand it’s right for you!

Pros

  • cheaper alternative than getting a brand new bikini

  • you’re indirectly helping and supporting another girl in the industry 

  • it’s a cheaper way to try out a new colour or look 

  • it works particularly well if you know your measurements already and have been stage lean before 

  • in comparison to buying second-hand bikinis or shoes elsewhere, we only accept a certain standard and quality before each item goes on our website, also the seller is required to agree to our strict terms and conditions

Cons

  • if you are a first-timer, we typically don’t advise looking at getting a second-hand bikini suit. Why? With it being your first time prepping and competing, it’s extremely difficult to guess your measurements, so you might spend money on a bikini that will end up not fitting you correctly, and you will have to try and sell it yourself before spending money on another suitable suit

  • if the suit does not fit you, you will then have to try and sell this bikini on which can sometimes be time-consuming

  • due to the nature of the marketplace, they are non-refundable, so we recommend you carefully read all the details so you make the right choice

  • while most sellers are quick to get their bikinis shipped out, we do unfortunately have moments where the seller does not reply which can be disappointing for the buyer… if this happens, we give the seller a week to respond, after this time, we remove their bikini from our marketplace, prevent them from using the KOMPAK Marketplace ever again, and of course give the customer a full refund

If you’ve decided you want to see for yourself, head to the Marketplace now to browse all the sparkles!
