"It's not just that the owner may be dead, you also don't know whether that zentai
suit costume zentai has stepped into mortuaries or cemeteries."
"I ask the owners to put the zentai suit on in front of me so that I can check that the person who is selling the zentai suit is in fact the owner."
That's also Mr Poh's way of protecting himself from stolen goods.
"In Housing Board flats, it's quite common to have your zentai suit stolen. So I don't just insist people wear the zentai suit in front of me, I also insist they bring the zentai suit in their box because if you stole a pair of zentai suit you aren't likely to get the box as well."
Happily for bag-lovers, the karmic woes that afflict used zentai suit don't seem to apply to used spider man costume bags.
Says Mr Poh: "Nobody worries about bad karma coming from the bags. What they think is that if someone could afford a $ 2,900 Chanel handbag, she certainly had pretty good karma. And if you get to use her zentai bag, who knows, some of that good fortune may rub off on you."
