I don't think you can compare this to a cab costume as the potential buyer :the US tribal dancer/SCA eventer may never even consider what your sequins and lycra from Cairo cost!
As I said before. tribal dancers can spend a lot of money and time putting a costume together especially if they get "authentic" textiles and decoration. But the price of "kuchi" has come down and I can't see me spending over £1000 to put something like that together . And so much more satisfying to DIY in a case like this. It will be somebody with a desire to be "authentic" (Pahhhhh What's that?) and with money to burn who is tempted.
I could start a whole thread on what is authentic...certainly not dancing tribal in a field in California unless you are doing "authentic" ,ATS native to the US.
So don't get me wrong now. I love re-enactment and had I had the time and transport when younger I'd have been in there in me petticoats shouting for Cromwell in the "Sealed Knot"
