How to Buy a Full-Body Used Mannequin

Full-body mannequins are most often found in retail clothing stores.

Full-body mannequins are commonly used as models in retail clothing stores, but can also be useful props for theater departments, photo shoots, and dressmakers. Mannequins are traditionally used for clothing and modeling.

Online Auction

Mannequins can be purchased through online auction sites such as eBay. Retail stores may list them online, or individual sellers may be able to supply one.

Craft Suppliers

Craft supply outlets or dressmaker suppliers can be another source for used mannequins. Contact local dressmakers or look online for a greater search area.

Classified Ads

Sites such as Craigslist provide valuable classifieds listings, as you can access classified ads from across the world. Ads in your local paper are also beneficial, particularly as stores may list "going out of business" sales.

Antique Stores and Flea Markets

Check local antique stores and flea markets. Often if the proprietor does not have the item you are looking for, such as a mannequin, he or she can direct you to a shop that does them, or can otherwise help you find one.
