SOLD - Rare opportunity : Finfolk Merman tail on sale

[Merman Arion]

Hi everyone.

I've been given a lot of thoughts about it and I've finally decided to sell my blue tail from Finfolk Productions.
Why? Because after almost two years, my feelings changed and to put it simply, I'm just not in love with it anymore. Don't get me wrong though, I still like it very much, it's a beautiful creation from Abby and Bryn but after some use and time, I figured out that I prefer my dream tail to be more comfortable to use. It's the first silicone tail I ever purchased and thanks to it, I've learned so much about swimming. I'm putting it on sale so I can order a new tail from Finfolk which will be a more evolved version of it. To reassure the future buyer, the design of my future tail will be different so this blue tail will stay unique. It's in very good condition, no mold inside, no paint scraps on the fluke, only a few minor tears on the dorsal that I will fix with some Sil-Poxy this week-end. The tail is not being sold on Ebay yet as I would like it to get a good home with a mer who will know how to take care of it.

I paid 3100$ for this tail. I'm asking 2000 euros (shipping cost included). Shipping fees at buyer's expense, the cost will vary depending on buyer's location. Payment upfront and prefered to be made through Paypal or bank account transfer.

Tail features the "leaf" scales from Finfolk and it might be the only tail who got them as I never saw another one with similar scales.
Also featured : dragonskin silicone, dorsal fins, pelvin fins, heel fins and a competitor monofin inside.

Measurements :

I'm a 6" tall guy. The tail will fit better for a merman and might fit a tall girl if the measurements are right for her.

Waist : 80 cm
Hips : 84 cm
Butt : 100 cm
Thights : 99 cm
Knees : 63 cm
Calves : 67 cm
Ankles : 40 cm
Waist to Floor : 115 cm
Waist to Ankles : 103 cm
Waist to Knees : 64 cm
Waist to Hips : 9 cm
Knees to Floor : 53 cm
Knees to Ankles : 43 cm
Knees to Calves : 14 cm

Shoes size : 43,5 cm / 9,5"

aw, sorry to see it go! but i hoe it goes to a good home!!

[Mermaid Riia]

It's gorgeous! And so tempting but yeah like we previously chatted quickly it's too long :/ will show this to Nerissa though. She's quite tall mermaid! :)

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Yes, this is so beautiful, but measurements are a bit different than mine :)

[SeaGlass Siren]

Mermaid michelle is pretty damn tall... But I don't know if she might be too tall 0-0

[Echidna]

Would fit me almost perfectly, but my feet are much smaller (my waist too).
I've made the experience that swimming with a too large footpocket is almost worse than not having a monofin :p

Good luck with selling it, it's a beautiful tail.

[Elodea the Mermaid]

Never before have I actually been happy that I have the same measurements as a tall man, lol. Arion, what is your shoe size? Thank you :-)

It's actually in the measurements. You must have missed them :)

European size : 43,5
US size : 9,5"

[Elodea the Mermaid]

Oops! I was delirious with excitement by that point, I guess! Thank you [emoji1]

I'm excited to see your new tail, Arion!

[Merman Arion]

No problem ;)
Let me know if you are interested.

[Sherielle]

Like I said on FB, I'm sad to see you sell it, but it's totally understandable.
Also, I wish my husband were skinnier, lol.

[Merman Lir]

i love this tail... but my feet and waist are too big. Best of luck selling!

[Marinus Mortimer]

I wish I had the money right now the tail would fit me almost perfectly except the shoe size im size 11

[Elodea the Mermaid]

No problem ;)
Let me know if you are interested.

I wish :( Everything is perfect except the shoe size. My feet are so much smaller that it would actually be dangerous, even with padding/booties/etc..
Thank you and good luck!

Really? I'm sorry :(

Thank you for encouraging.

[merman475]

Ditto on the wishing, Arion. You're far taller than I. :'(

[Little Mermaid Kelly]

This would be so perfect for me (just a little too big in the waist) I wish I had the money for it!! Especially since its my exact shoe size! :(

[SIF]

Arion, I'm not as tall as you, but after the tail I just finished fixing, height is not a problem. When i get home on the 28th I'm going to take measurements. Is the tail still for sale, friend?

[Merman Arion]

Yes, it's still available :)

Price went down a little bit. I'm asking $2000 (shipping not included)

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Its such a shame! You worked hard to get that tail. Is it the color or design that you're not feeling it?

[Rett]

Ugh.... This looks too perfect and the measurements are a tad big but might be doable... Must. Resist. Urge. Cant. Afford.

[Merman Arion]

Its such a shame! You worked hard to get that tail. Is it the color or design that you're not feeling it?

No. It's actually the comfort. It's tight on my feet and the competitor is really heavy.

After I got my splash tail, I fell in love with the trainer monofin and I would really prefer a lighter and flowy tail :)

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Have you thought of going back to fabric tails?

[Merman Arion]

Have you thought of going back to fabric tails?

Going back, not really. BUT I'm thinking of purchasing a FinFun tail in the future for occasional swims without my silicone tails. Don't know when though.

[SeaGlass Siren]

^ that's what I was thinking of doing too. One tail for the good stuff, and a fabric for recreational swims/ if a friend wants to join me

[Victoria Storm]

[Merman Arion]

Yes, the tail is still available. You were mentioning the size of your feet right there?

[Mk Merman]

Yeah feet ��

[Merman Arion]

im UK size 10 /11 do you think hink this would fit me?

I'm not sure. It seems like you have big feet and it's already quite tight on mine. If you are from UK, you could always visit in Paris for a weekend and try out the tail to be extra sure. It's up to you.

[Mk Merman]

That's worth the hinking about Arion thank you, I manage a salon so time off or rare unfortunately, but seriously considering this!

You would do that? I don't work on weekends so that might be possible :)

[Mk Merman]

Ok, can you repost your measurments again, so I can do a double check?

[Mk Merman]

Found measurments just doing a checking again!

[Merman Arion]

Remember that my tail is made of silicone so it's streching. How big are your waist and hips exactly?

My waist is somewhere around 96cm, hips 100cm, butt (at a squeeze) is about 106cm. so, as you see I'm not really close to your measurements.
