Just throwing this idea out there. I think it would be cool to have a thread where mers can post deals or products they find while out and about in the world. That way we can all take advantage of products out there that can make our lives a bit fishier.

So just for kicks I was wandering around Target a few days ago and I saw this out of the corner of my eye:
http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb360/anemone93/2012-11-08_15-16-06_800.jpg

Priced at $24.99 just thought some mermaids on here would enjoy wearing something like this. I'm pretty sure you'd be able to find it on their website too.

----

I also found a seller on ebay selling a Competitor Monofin (size large) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Finis-Competitor-Professional-Freedive-Monofin-SIZE-Large-/261126561774?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccc5b1fee). It is way too small for me but I think there are definitely some maids or men who could use this. Shipping is free and the current bid is $48.

ps. The add doesn't mention the size but I asked the seller and he confirmed it was a size large.

----

If you decide to follow suit, just post the item with a pic or link and gives us a price and location, website, or store.

Otherwise I hope someone takes advantage of that monofin. I would really love to see someone from the community get it. :)

I want to buy one of these. I'm GOING to buy one of these... erm, or ask for one for Christmas. IN BLUE. I shake my fist at you, tuition and bills! And uh, food... and a tail update (but that is totally worth it).

I would totally want one of those water clocks! Kind of afraid I would break it though... I don't see snooze button on top, and I get kinda violent with my alarm clocks (i blame my narcolepsy haha).

WOW!! Those are cool. I would love to have one of those.

That IS a good question, where the snooze is. I mean, I am good about my alarms, but that would be a rude awakening for someone who is groggy and struggling to turn it off - only to spill water on themselves. :P

Oh cool! Now I want one of those! that's awesome.

And at the risk of double posting...

I went to target again with a friend and I was walking past some the the decor stuff they had going on and I saw these...

The first one is just a silver shell replica. Cool stuff for your bedroom or house and the second is a turtle or tortoise shell replica! I've never seen anything like that before. There was a green one, white one, and a mustardy yellow one. I think I might get the green or white and paint it to look like a sea turtle shell and hang it on my wall. Just an idea. :)

Look what ThinkGeek has! I've never seen one of these wrap around the top of the ear like that.

I saw ones like that but they were dragons.

Awesome! Those are really unique, I really like the tentacle one. If I had my ears pierced I'm pretty sure I'd be wearing one of those.

Hey just came across MORE listings for competitor monofins. It looks like these two are older because they don't have the same logo and edging that comes on the current competitors but I would expect that they still function the same.

Here is the size LARGE (http://www.ebay.com/itm/FINIS-COMPETITOR-PROFESSIONAL-FREE-DIVE-MONOFIN-FREE-DIVING-SWIM-TRAINING-FINS-/170947213096?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cd3f7728) and the size EXTRA-LARGE (http://www.ebay.com/itm/FINIS-COMPETITOR-PROFESSIONAL-FREE-DIVE-MONOFIN-FREE-DIVING-SWIM-TRAINING-/170947210723?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cd3f6de3). Shipping is $20 and bidding is going to end on Thursday (29th). The bidding has started low and I would love to be able to see someone from the community get these. These usually are steals compared to the regular pricing. Good luck!

p.s. just a tip if you are going to make a bid, don't bid right away. Bidding later will give other people less opportunity to outbid you, and increases your chances of winning said item. :)

I've seen these before. It's a really different and interesting way for wearing your hair up so you don't get that 'samara' look when you surface :)
