Weird? It kinda looks like a mertailor one... 250$ but I have never seen this kinda site before.

actually nevermind, it IS mertailor, found it on ebay...

Yeah,. well. um. Here's your chance to own a mertailor silicone tail for 250$

It looks the same to me.

[AniaR]

Im sure it's that one, which is used, which was also created by Linda I heard. (Might be why it's only 250$) I found it by accident googling something else, that weird first car sale website came up first then when I clicked the pic it took me to ebay.

Either way, Im sure someone will snatch it up it's not everyday you can get a silicone tail for 250$ especially one seen in a print ad.

edit: confirmed. It IS that tail and Linda did make it (even took the photos)

[Mermaid Star]

Yeah I was just about to post that, it is the tail that Linda made and it was the color combination that she came up with.

[Mermaid Star]

Oh that is why... Ended

that's so weird it still shows up on ebay as an item! and I still cant get over it's random turn up on a used car site hahaha that's still really funny to me :p

[OrcaMatt]

Yeah, the provenance of tails can sometimes be tricky. Word on the street is I got mine third-hand and not second-hand/worn once as advertised.

[Kanti]

Wow! I really like it actually xD
I love that rust color~
Too bad it's probably not my size at all

[Mermaasai]

love the coppers etc.

[Mermaid Sirena]

I no see picture :( It does have a really pretty color scheme though :)

[Neria]

Aww :( I got really excited a silicone mermaid tail that cheap.

[Kanti]

Yea, right?
I would have actually bought it in a heartbeat xD

[Nim]

Seems there is something suspicious about...:confused: I would not trust in Mertailor

[Mermaid Rillia]

i would have bought it but it does seem slightly suspicious. a silicone tail for 250 dollars? did you notice there were no bids on it?

[Mermaid Sirena]

It's been up for a long time, not even the fearless are bitting... something must be up.

[MermaidRaegan]

I'm tempted, because I enjoy the colors and it's almost exactly my size.... but every time I hear 'mertailor' I get pretty suspicious.

[AniaR]

the bid is already over, for some reason it's just still up.

[MermaidRaegan]

I'm surprised the seller isn't renewing. If it's so cheap then they probably really want to get rid of it. Unless someone did buy it, in which case I hope nothing was wrong with it.

[Syrenia]

Eh, I would be hesitant about it. I have more money than I know what to do with (not something I'm proud of) and even I wouldn't buy it.
Besides, it's a mertailor tail. Not saying anything bad about him, but I've never been a fan of his designs.

But I do have to agree with everyone else. Highly suspicious...

[MermaidRaegan]

I've heard lots of good things about his silicone tails, and I'm the type of person that wants to believe the best in everyone, even when I know they dont' deserve it. But a tail of his showing up for a couple hundred when they're normally over 2 thousand? Something smells fishy, and it's not my goldfish bowl.

[AniaR]

he didnt actually make this tail, Linda, a former assistant did. But this is old old old news. The thread is from last year Im not sure why it's actually being posted in right now :p
