I have a silicone tail by Mermaid Creations for sale. I'm asking $500 + $60 shipping. It is a full silicone tail with a ocenika merfin inside. It was worn for a few events. To order one from Mermaid Creations is $1200 + shipping, so this is a great savings! I am willing to make payment arrangements if you'd need a little time to pay.

The tail is blue, with spots.It was made for someone 5,4" tall, a size 3 pants, and size 7 feet..... If you are around that size or a little bigger, it will fit you because the silicone is very stretchy.

Pros: No waiting! It's ready to go to it's new home! And much cheaper than buying new.

Cons: The tail came to us with some cosmetic issues. There is a light patch on the back where the silicone has discolored. The fluke has a double tip on one end, but not the other. Since wearing the tail, there are a few flaky areas, the shine has rubbed off in some spots, and the edge of the bottom of the fluke has opened up. Also, the tail came much, much longer than expected, so the top had to be cut down in order to fit my short frame, but I left the back higher to keep the bum coverage. (See the pictures below) These won't be an issue if you are using the tail for personal use, photos, or swimming. You cannot see them in regular photos or in the water. You can have these issue repaired if you want,you will just have to pay for the shipping to Mermaid Creations and wait for them to repair it.

More information on Mermaid Creations is on their website, www.mermaidcreations-inc.com (http://www.mermaidcreations-inc.com)

(I also have a larger, new tail from MermaidCreations for sale)

Here is a video of me using it at an event:

The colors are so pretty. Not sure I could stand the look of the back though :/ Looks kinda funky to me

Yeah, like I said, it's got cosmetic issues, but it works for recreational swimming or photos.

If it wasn't an oceanika monofin I would snatch that up.

Good luck though!

Are you selling it only because of the issues it came with?

Kanti
04-02-2013, 09:49 PM
It does have some visible problems but yea, it would work well for recreational.
I actually love the colors!

Good luck selling it!

EDIT: also you look so cute in the video with you swimming in it! xD

Yes, it wasn't right for my business. If it was for recreational use, I would keep, but I wanted it for my business. Plus my husband surprised me with a new tail so I will not be using this one anymore.

After thinking about the problems that I ran into with the Oceanika mono fin, the course of action that I am willing to follow is to replace this fluke with my original style fluke (see Raina's sister's tail), and put a Foil in it.

The new fluke will be painted to match the rest of the tail.

Moongazer

Would that be free of charge or extra?

I believe he is willing to do that at no charge.

What measurements did you give Jesse? It looks to be smaller than a size 3 pants, but I can't really tell.

BlueMermaid
04-04-2013, 01:15 PM
Here are the measurements I used. Keep in mind we cut the waist down.
Top of tail: 24"
Top of tail to bellybutton/waist: 4"
Waist: 27
Waist to hip: 8
Hip: 36"
Hip to knee: 13"
Knees: 21
Knees to calves: 5"
Calves: 22'
Calves to ankle: 9"
Ankles: 13"

Okay, thanks! I'll check my own and see if they're at all similar later today.

Annnnd it's way too big. I kind of figured so. It's such a beautiful shade of blue, though. Seriously!

BlueMermaid

Aw sorry Emma!

BlueMermaid
04-04-2013, 05:26 PM
Ok Jesse its coming to you for repair very soon! And then its going Moongazer!

MerEmma
04-04-2013, 05:44 PM
Woo! So glad she got it. It's gorgeous.

MermanJesse

Sounds like a plan!

Moongazer, what is your shoe size? I may have a Foil in stock for this repair.

Moongazer
04-04-2013, 07:25 PM
My shoe size is around a 6 or so. Would it be possible to get a wave instead?

And I'm super excited to get this tail. Jesse do you think you might be able to correct the color issue on the bum too?

Kanti
04-04-2013, 10:46 PM
Congrats Moongazer!
That tail looks like it'd suit you very well! The blue folor is so pretty~

MermanJesse

The Wave will not fit in my fluke.

By the time I trim the Wave to fit, it will be the size of a Foil.

Kanti
04-05-2013, 01:50 PM
Not to mention the wave/rapid is very bulky around the heels. The strap really ruins the "flow" of the silhouette tail.
I mean, I guess that's just my opinion, but I would suggest the Foil as well.

Moongazer
04-05-2013, 02:21 PM
Ah ok, thanks! Sorry just a question ^^

Jesse I'll be sending an email your way soon with a couple more questions, if that's alright!

MermanJesse
04-05-2013, 04:23 PM
No problem at all.

I absolutely love the Foil mono fin.

Here's a video of the fluke with a Foil that I am going to put on the tail.

Jesse the floppyness of those flukes are to die for.

The tail has been sold for a long time

Im really interested in your tail I just have a few questions...
Is it in good condition? I know you said it had a few cosmetic issues but I don't care about that.. I just want to know if it will break
Are you willing to negotiate the price? If not, that's ok but if I we could work out a price that's even a little cheaper that would be great.
Thanks,
(future) Mermaid Sophie

it's cool. I seriously recommend reading the entire thread you are posting on tho, since you seem to be here to just buy a tail. There's a ton of resources about this is you take the time to look and read.

Have you sold this tail yet? I would like to make an offer.

I believe the tail was sold to Moongazer, back in April, 2013. Sorry, Mercedes. We have several new tailmakers starting to sell their products, though, so check the tailmaking section, you might be able to get one of theirs.

I would love to own that tail especially because I own an oceanika monofin but it wouldn't fit me :(
