Why is there no monofin in it?
Fliptails don't have monofins. It's just how they're made

This was one of the first silicone tails he made, and at first he didn't use monofins. I think he does now or he adds them if you want one.

May I ask why are you selling it?
I have other tails, so I no longer use this one.

Im moorreeee than interested in this tail<333
Darn my big feet.
Pretty sure im gonna bid on this<3
Ok yeah, this is pretty much awesome... :D Yea it needs a pit of paint somewhere but cause I think it's so well made I think it lasts still quite ok?
What do you think Blue, would it be two short for me when I'm like 5,6-5,7?
it's a very pretty tail :)
Do you have the waist, hip, and knee, and calf measurements for it? It sounds like it might fit my little sister, but before I have my friend bid on it for her, I want to make sure it actually will fit her.
And also, cause I now have mertailors partial silicone so I know what it is to deal with a fluke with no monofin... :D Is it heavy to lift? I mean can you lift your fluke above surface while swimming? And how about photoshoots, is it hard to lift your fluke while laying on your stomach?
I had my 5,7 friend wear it, it just sat low on her waist. As long as you don't mind it being under your bellybutton, you would probably be fine.

It was made for me, a size 3, but also fits my size 8 friends. As long as she falls within that size group, is under 5,5 and has small feet, it should work for her.

You can lift it while laying on your stomach but just need to do it fast so the fluke flops forward.

Of course these were mostly before it got discolored but you will get a good idea of how it looks in photos and how the fluke is.
I forgot to mention, this tail has NO SEAMS!
Bummer, it might be too big for her then. :( I'll ask her though if she can wear a size 3 (everything else matches up though, she's got itty-bitty feet and is only 5'3")
How do your legs stay in the foot pockets? I mean do they often slip away when trying to lift the fluke, or is there some kind of straps or how it works? Cause I had on my pockets this one strap only which goes behind my heels but I added one more strap which goes over my ankles cause the fluke pretty often slipped off
I guess its just the fact that the tail is tight like a second skin, it doesnt come off. But I am used to swimming without straps, so Im not sure how others would feel. The other girls who have worn my tail and have also worn tails with straps have not had any trouble swimming in this tail, its just different and may take getting used to if you are used to straps.

Good luck to whoever gets it!
Oh my this tail is gorgeous and would fit me perfectly...
Oh man I wanted this tail so bad. I could pick it up from you locally too! I live like 2 hrs away. Looks like it didn't sell. Did you end up selling it? I could give you 800 cash and come pick it up myself but alas I cannot afford more because tax season):
I'm In love with this tail! If you're still interested in selling I am very interested in it
At $940 it says the reserve was not met, so the tail still available (as far as I know) but she'd want more than $940 for it.
Yeah, when the reserve didn't hit at $750, I assumed it would be $1000 or more.
Is this still available?
Hi everyone! So, my reserve was not met. This tail has sentimental value and is also a Flip tail so I made the reserve $1200 as that is the point where I can let my baby go. I may re-list at some point, not sure yet. Thank you for all the interest!
I'm a bit confused now how this e-bay thing works, so if the lowest limit was this starting price but still the limit was this 1200? I want to ask only cause I've never used e-bay before and now I really don't understand... :D
So generally in auctions not necessarily with a tail but anything on E-bay, a seller like Blue Mermaid has a price that she would like it to be sold at in order for her to make money or recoup the funds she bought the tail at, however she may not disclose that information to the public in order to see where the auction will go and how much interest is shown. Essentially she doesn't want to be shorted funds and lose money when selling her tail. This goes with anything like I said from toys to cars to collector items. Generally the more expensive the item is, there will be a reserve bid on the item. Also when you find "buy it now" costs, those prices are above what the reserve bid would be so the seller will make money on that item. I hope that helps.
Ok, thanks, it did :)
I re-listed this tail if anyone is still interested!
