(No longer available.) $1,700 Silicone Tail

Attachment 31334Attachment 31335Attachment 31336Attachment 31337Attachment 31338

I have paid $3,315 for this tail made by FinspoMermaidTails, and I'm asking for $500. Inside is a Finis Trainer monofin cut in a fluke shape, which is a medium in women's (6.5-8).
The tail has only been used a few times. I'm selling this because I'm hoping to buy a new tail, and the quality is substandard.

Defects include:
- Messy seams on the body of the tail and extra fins
- Scales and fluke have sloppy finish
- Slightly faded paint job
- Hole on the back by the dorsal fin
- Tear caused by monofin puncture
- Torn, stretched seams

Don't be afraid to message me with any questions :)

Maybe someone who knows how to use dragonskin can fix it up

mernation fixes up tails ^^ i dunno if you think itks worth saving but if not whom ever buys it could easily talk to mernation and see if they can fix it ^____^

I've actually contacted them about it, they've said that the repairs may cost as much as the tail is worth, and take as much time as making a new tail would be. Plus, I have a new tail design. Hopefully the new owner can appreciate this tail more than I do :)

Also, just a note, I'm not too sure that a small finis trainer would fit up to a 9. I have a medium in the trainer, with size 9 feet and it's on the 'fit's perfectly' side with a 'a bit too snug' if I add booties. Plus, looking at the finis website they advertise a 'medium' fitting 7.5-9, going up by 2 sizes every interval (L 9.5-11, XL 11.5-13) and so on. Following this logic a 'small' would be sized to fit 5.5-7 sized foot. Maybe it has a medium sized fin in it? I ask only because as far as I know finis don't even make small sized monofins anymore.

Thanks for the correction! What she said, everybody, lol.

😦 I dislike substandard workmanship.

Yeah, that's a shame about the workmanship :-/ It looks really pretty from a distance, I like the design.

...I just checked out your photos and comments in the other thread you linked. That's crap! I'm so sorry you got such a poorly constructed tail. I don't even understand how someone could make a tail that sloppy.

hmm....I know it has a bit of damage to it, but it's still tempting to get. Many of the Gig's that I did before my Latex tail become un-useable were distance gigs. So I wouldn't have to do much to fix it up. Plus it would give me a tail to use while I'm waiting for my silicone tail to be finished (I know it's going to be five or six month before I get it, if not longer). UGH...why do I have to be so broke!


I hope this tail get's a good home and that you can get your refund.

Does it swim well? It's exactly my size...

Not sure, I haven't tried it yet, unfortunately.

Ah, do you know if there is drainage holes? How much do you think it weighs in total?

I tested it in water, and the fluke got filled up, so I'm assuming no, and it weighs 35 pounds.

I hope you keep fighting for a refund! It's unfortunate how this turned out. :(

If you want an advice try to make an advertisement also on eBay in this way I think you should be able to sell it faster 😉



Good luck lady I'm so sorry for what happened!

Pretty tail, good luck selling it

UPDATED! The tail I believe, is far from repair, but if any of you can work a miracle and would like it at a much cheaper price, I'd be happy to give it to you. Message for more info.

I've sent you a message :)

Hello!,

Did you sell this tail in the end or is it still available?

Thanks

I'd like to know if it's still up as well! :D If it is, I'd be very interested in messaging you if it turns out I'd fit.

I believe this tail is still for sale!

It would make a really good photography prop, even if it isn't good to swim in. Put that in your add and you might get the attention of a photographer and sell it for what you're asking. Good luck!

If tail is still available I am very interested would you ship to NZ at my cost - pulse if so could you price freight airmail

Just thought i'd share that when I messaged asking about the tail she said she's no longer selling it :C Maybe someone can mark this thread as no longer available?
