I just put it up on Ebay

It's my mertailor latex tail that has been completely redone!

I don't really want to part with it...I LOVE it. But unfortunately I have to.

I'm asking $1,000. I know Mertailors tails are $600 but this is truly an original, I've reshaped it, painted it, reinforced it and added custom fringe to it...it truly is worth it if you have the money!

Don't forget to put up measurements! People need to know all of those to see if it's a fit for them.

I respect your custom work, but it the fact remains that it's neoprin and ALEX. Even with all the work asking twice the original selling price is.. well it's over doing it. As it is Eric sells them for twice the price it takes to make one (more if you take some things into consideration). I'd say asking the selling price with the custom work would be a better bet. Plus using a tail takes a lot off of it's resale value. I've seen neoprene and actual latex Mertailor tails that sold for $1,000 originally go for $200 or less a few times. Just sayin'.

I agree with Winged.

No offense and all, even if you added stuff on to your tail. It's used, it's to your measurements, ect. You can't really expect to get more out of a used item. It just doesn't make sense :\ And again, the materials he uses isn't even "high classed". I feel like the person who would buy it and ends up doing research on the tails is going to feel cheated....
