I was browsing eBay and came across this ad:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261602971284&alt=web

$1200 + $50 shipping for a silicone tail?! The examples they give look lovely...but does anyone recognize this tailmaker? I'd consider ordering from them if we could find some more info about them...

They honestly look to me like tin cure because they seem so thin and flimsy. I could be wrong though. Sounds like they make their own monofins too from the description.

I'm always weary of people who only have one tail It's nice to see a body of work. But who knows! Good to keep an eye on.

Yeah, looks like tin cure to me too for the same reason (it folds like thin fabric instead of like other latex and silicone tails) And maybe a few more tails under their belt or another social media/website would be nice too..

I also look at them on ebay, and my first thought was "But it's so thin looking"
Sad because it's in europe :-(

I noticed that too. :( How sad, I would love to see some new, reputable tail makers pop up around the world. I love seeing all of the different interpretations of tails by different artists.

visually the tails are pretty but i have to agree with everybody. they look thin and flimsy.
id want to see them in action like in a video or something.

Well someone can ask to the seller if he/she has a video of the tail and if it's tin cured

Shipping and handling


The seller has not specified a shipping method to Belgium. Contact the seller- opens in a new window or tab (http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ShowCoreAskSellerQuestion&redirect=0&requested=polzic2011&iid=261602971284) and request shipping to your location.

Item location: Moscow, Moscow, Russian Federation
Shipping to: United States

To me they look very similar to Eric's tails, especially the fluke as you can see the monofin through the top-layer and it has the same shape as his.

Someone recently posted about this tailmaker I recognize the last pic on the eBay page. They didn't know where they could find more info

That fluke looks super floppy, and not in a good way in one of those pictures. It seems like it would just add more drag rather than give a nice flowwy look like a Merbella or FinFolk tail. Also, the blending? I think it's supposed to blend... maybe they want stripes on the fluke? I don't know....
