Hey all, after long debate with myself, I've decided to put my merbellas tail up for sale, and use the funds to buy a custom Finfolk tail. Finfolk is based in Minnesota, just a few hours away from Duluth, which will allow me to work personally with them on fitting and design, and it will also allow me to cut out shipping costs. I hope to have my new tail by Christmas so I can take it to Merfest in January. Anyways, here it is:19968199691997019967
The reason I'm selling it is because it doesn't fit me quite right. The hips and calves come too far out from my body, picture being able to pinch a flab of scales in those areas. The body is also a bit too short on me. I have to hold it up at my waist with some sheer tights and a few belts to keep it from slipping down. I'd like to get a new tail with a dorsal fin and a competitor monofin. At first, I thought my tail came with the competitor, but it came with a smaller fin due to a miscommunication. (Basically I couldn't decide which monofin I wanted and I confused Raven with all my rambling.) The tail really is a work of art. Its one of a kind, Raven said it was a very challenging design and she was excited to work on it.
Dimensions:
Length: 38"
Waist: 26"
Hip: 32"
Knees: 24"
Ankles: 16"
I've gained a bit of weight since then, so that also might be why it no longer fits me. The tail is in very good condition, no scratches or scuffs or tears. The only thing wrong with it are some green patches on the inside from water. I've scrubbed them down with white vinegar and baking soda and every other gentle cleaner I can think of, so they aren't a problem. I'll be uploading more pictures when I get home from work.
I'm asking $2,600 for it. (plus shipping) It was purchased for $3,000, and has only seen two dry events and a few birthday parties. Post any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them.
