Does anyone have a good tail to sale?

[riffe1026]

Hello,
I'm a new mer looking for my first tail. I'd like to buy a used silicone one and was wondering if anyone had an old one they would like to sell?
Please let me know,
Niki :)

Good luck with trying to find one, but I doubt you'll find one easily or that is really marked down. Try checking in the "Classified" area regularly for updates.

Have you considered neoprene based tails? They're pretty good looking but a lot less.

I'd highly recommend you go with a fabric or neoprene tail for your first, especially if you've never swam in one before. Look around the forum and do lots of reading before you make any kind of decision, it could save you a lot of trouble in the long run. And I agree with Katia- finding a less expensive, used silicone tail in good shape that'll fit you may be really tough.

As a repost of a message to another new mer...

It can be confusing being a new mer, but you are certainly in luck to have such a helpful forum like this around. When I was a new mer, I never did.

There are several types of tails including fabric, neoprene, latex and silicone. While there are mers who simply dive in with one of the higher graded tails, I recommend starting out with a either just a monofin or a fabric tail if you are a beginner.

Several tail makers can be found that can easily fit your budget and style. You should definitely check out this (http://mernetwork.com/index/content.php?133-mermaid-tailmakers) link for a list of tail makers. I own a shop, but it is not yet listed in that link. You are welcome to check out my shop at www.etsy.com/magichorizon (http://www.etsy.com/magichorizon) or check out our facebook at www.facebook.com/fintastictails (http://www.facebook.com/fintastictails)

If you are on a strict budget or are simply great at DIY, I suggest taking a look at this (http://mernetwork.com/index/content.php?135-Tutorials-and-How-to-Guides) link. There are alot of us who greatly enjoy making our own tails, it is an amzing feeling when you've completed your very own creation.

You also may find it helpful to check out this (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?4156-What-to-expect-with-your-first-tail) thread to read up on what to expect with whatever tail you decide to get!

Well, I hope this helped you out. Good luck and happy mermaiding! :D

I know this is a *bit* old, but I am looking to pass on my red neoprene tail fairly soon. I may raffle it off on my page, or list it here.
