Ok, so I'm looking for breast forms and wigs. I'm not ready to put serious money into them yet because I don't know what styles might look good on me. So for now I'm just wondering if anyone has had any luck with cheap ones from ebay/amazon. If so, what seller(s) did you go through and what were your outcomes. Even if they were bad ones. I'd love to hear from the voice of experience. I just want to figure out what looks good on me without spending hundreds per item. I know you usualy get what you pay for... but sometimes I've found good deals on ebay for other items. Anyways.. thank you all in advance :D

I got decent breastforms at glamourboutique.com. I bought the cheapest they had and they turned out to be wonderful. I can't imagine how those that cost 2x and 3x as much would be worth it.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

I got breast forms from ebay and my feeling is that you can go fairly cheap here because you are layering over. A cheap wig is going to look like a cheap wig. This makes it into a judgment call. I was lucky and a friend managed to get me one for free. It's synthetic but looks OK - but I've got no idea how much one like this would cost. I've been told - and believe - that you MUST find a wig shop and do NOT simply buy online. I know that may not be feasible, so just be careful. Maybe people here can give some ideas on where to look for a decent one online.

Wigs are definitely tough, it is hard to say what style will work with your facial shape. You might save a lot more money in the longer term going to a wig shop and paying a little bit more. I have bought a few wigs online and I like the one I currently use, but I would have been a lot less self conscious about how I looked and saved a lot of money if I had just gone to a wig shop in the first place.
Being transgender does not give anyone a free pass or a hand out... we just want a fair shake and an opportunity as any AMERICAN and that is the freedom and LIBERTY that I fought for and defended.

thanks everyone, for the info. I'm now looking around for a wig shop away from my hometown lol. I'm not fully out yet so this's going to have to be one of those "it's ok they'll never see me again" type things haha..

Ok, for me, i unfortunately wasted a lot of money playing around with various wig colors and styles. I eventually donated most of them to a cancer hospital,  so that some woman that cannot afford a wig, at least is not that embarrassed about walking around with no hair.
eventually i settled on a wig based on my natural hair color, and i keep 3 of them (same styles), to alternate. 
I wear them daily. ..

Forms, i cannot give u any advice on, as i make use of what i have and a "increase 2 cup sizes" wonderbra.

Got this on amazon. Tried it on for a few mins. Not really sure what to think yet. I can't rightly call it trash or treasure :/
Once I figure it out I'll post pics lol..
