The Unofficial Silicone Tail-Maker Price Chart

[Mer-Crazy]

So this is a little chart I made up a while ago for another reason, but Raina suggested I put it in it's own thread so that people have all their options laid out in one convenient and easy to understand and compare place. If I have gotten any of the prices wrong, if anyone notices a tail maker alter their prices or if any new tail makers would like to be added to the chart please feel free to let me know and I'll edit the chart. I want to keep it as up to date and accurate as possible.

The attachment didn't work for me! This chart will be super handy in deciding which tail makers to go with.

[Mer-Crazy]

I was in the process of updating it. Try now, let me know :)

[merkitty]

Looks good, thanks for the info :thumbs up:

[AniaR]

awesome Selene!

[Ayla of Duluth]

Huh. I didn't know Finfolk had a charge for their paint jobs.

[Yulia]

Huh. I didn't know Finfolk had a charge for their paint jobs.
They charge extra for like stripes, patterns or dots.

[AniaR]

so does mertailor, for paint jobs that are very detailed they need to make specific sets of stencils.

[Mer-Crazy]

I thought so but I just couldn't find any pricing for mertailor. Do you know how much Raina?

[AniaR]

Nope I believe they go by a case by case basis.

[Mer-Crazy]

Thanks :) I will update my chart sometime today

What about Sirenalia?

[Mer-Crazy]

I wasn't sure if Sirenalia was an official tail maker yet or still just in the 'up an coming' category like Purple Rainbow Tails and Pearlie Mae. Also I couldn't find a lot of the information I needed for the chart on them, at this point I only really have a basic tail cost, probably that they don't charge extra for elaborate paint or offer a 'basic' version. So I felt like there wasn't enough information to include them on the list, however I have posted on their thread, asking for the information I'm missing.

[PearlieMae]

Just sent you a private message, answering your questions! :)

[Mermaid Freyja]

Finfolk also offers their tails with the option of individually applied scales as an upgrade for $1000.

[Mer-Crazy]

That is listed ^_^ under scale upgrade I put 'tipped for $200' and 'individual scales for $1000'

Ah, oops! :p Sorry, I missed that.

What about Mermaid Jessica? Her tails are stunning and start at $1800

Though she hasn't updated on the Predator tail in quite a while.

[Mer-Crazy]

Oh that's right! Her tails are so gorgeous!

[Mer-Crazy]

I'm updating the chart for the new year, going to add some new tail makers, give it a new look. If I haven't included any tail makers that simply NEED to be on here let me know ^_^

[RomanLaveau]

I don't see Lily from SyrenStudios on the list! She is a silicone tailmaker!
Silicone Tails: $2000
Custom-made
No extra charge for paint jobs, but if really elaborate, depends on pigment costs
Competitor Monofin included
Add-Ons:
Dorsal Fins: $150
Accessory fins (ankles, side, etc): $60 per pair
Blended waist: $60
Custom sculpts: will vary by design, begin at $250

I don't know if I missed anything!

[Mer-Crazy]

Thanks <3 I will make sure to put her on the list. Just one thing- does she make scale tops? I couldn't find any prices

Also, could you update my info? My flukes are ALL custom, no additional cost; and come with custom polycarbonate monofins (stiff, medium, flowy) at no additional cost.

(Some standard fluke shapes will be made available in the near future.)

[Mermaid Coralia]

Tiggs tails by Fifi should definitely be on the new list :thumbs-up:

[PearlieMae]

Agreed!

[Elodea the Mermaid]

As far as I know Lily hasn't started making scale tops yet.

[Mer-Crazy]

Okay I've updated it, if there are any problems just let me know. (Sorry it's blurry not sure what happened. The image on my computer looked fine :/

[RomanLaveau]

OH no at the moment, she does not sell tops!

[PearlieMae]

Looks great! Thanks for all your hard work!

(And while my tails look to be the most expensive. you'll notice my 'add-ons' are included!)

[Mermaid Harmony]

Kariel has made enough now that I think she should be on the list, much info isn't out at the moment, but I'm pretty sure at the moment they start at 2,900 but I think she's planning on raising that price soon, and i know extra detailed work is more, as well as fins and such.

Pearlie, I can't seem to find the thread in which you had shared that lovely mono fin you created. Are you going to offer those for purchase alone? I really would love to buy one!

[PearlieMae]

My monofins are currently awaiting patent status so there is a level of protection on my design. I will be offering some sort of fin for sale in 2016, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements!
:yay:

Lily just announced she will be making tops now if you haven't added that already.
