I am selling my hand-painted neoprene tail. The monofin is NOT included. If you would like, for extra, I can purchase and cut a monofin for you. As I do not really know how much I should sell my tail for, I am willing to take the best offer I can get + shipping and handling depending on where the buyer is located.I will post the measurements and some pictures later as my camera has gone missing O_o Please comment OR PM me if you are interested. NOTE: ThanQ to Stevi at Fishbutts for making the mermazing base of the tail! :D

***SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY***

Oh hey, I guess it's just me being picky, but since this is a tail that Fishbutts made and you painted, shouldn't you say something about that in the description on your etsy? Looking at what you have up there, I would assume you made the whole thing yourself. Also, I forget, but what kind of paint did you use on the tail?

Hmm, I thought I did...:doh: thanQ for noting that. And I do not remember what kind of paint it was just that it was tulip fabric paint :P

What monofin does it fit?

What monofin does it fit?
I apologize for the late reply, this tail was made to fit the custom mono-fin; however, I am not selling the mono-fin w/ the tail. The best way to go would be to buy a mono-fin and cut it to fit.

I'll pass then... the Tail looks awesome, but I'm getting an Oceanika Merfin as a late christmas present. So I'll save for a Partial silicone tail from Stevie then.

Mermaid Saphira

I'm really sorry that you've put so much into this tail and you can't find it a good home.:(

Mermaid Saphira
02-08-2013, 02:57 PM
^ ThanQ for that :)
I wish I could get it sold, I really need the money :/

I'm going to assume the tail has not sold? correct?

MerEmma

Your Etsy said it expired... I'm so sad that you can't find a good home for such a pretty tail. =\ Are you really positive then that you can't keep it? You put so much work into it.. D:

Mermaid Saphira
03-21-2013, 09:32 PM
I haven't gotten around to my etsy in awhile, but I will fix that later.
I'm sad to see it go, but I have lost a lot of weight and I need the money.
Hate to see it go, but so long as it goes to an amazing home that will take good care of it I would be happy.

Do you still have it? I need to check my measurements!

^ I do still have the tail.

Sonnet

Awesome. Tell me a little bit about Neoprene. Do you have any pics of you wearing it? And how much are you asking?

Mermaid Saphira
03-23-2013, 10:51 AM
^ I do not have any pictures of my wearing, as stated before I lost weight before I could get it on.
I do not know much about neoprene or neoprin. I am asking for $250 or best offer and this price relies solely on the hard work I put into the paint job and a little bit for the price of the tail from the tailmaker.

This might not be of much help to you, if you have other questions please feel free to PM here.

How much is it with the custon monofin included?

Mermaid Saphira
03-23-2013, 05:48 PM
I would have to know what size monofin ( wave or rapid ) you would need.

Mermaid Julianne
03-23-2013, 06:28 PM
I would need a rapid. The wave is too small.

Mermaid Saphira
03-24-2013, 10:11 AM
I am only estimating, but I would say the total would come out to... $350-$400? This doesn't include the shipping as I would have to know detail about that first and it also doesn't include if you start with the original price or do a best offer.
