(Sold!) FOR SALE: Finfolk Productions Tail styled after a "Man O War" ($2500)

I cannot believe I am doing this, but I am... I am putting my absolutely amazing and astounding tail up for sale. It has NOTHING to do with the GORGEOUS piece and everything to do with personal issues that include being let go from my job after they found out about my mermaid birthday party side business (it being "unprofessional") and all the bad memories associated with that. I also need the money now that I am no longer certain what I am going to be doing as a job. I have a SCUBA trip that cannot be cancelled to pay off, and I need to get that done. Please do not PM me with the legalities of how my place of work cannot fire me for this reason--I work at a school and, until you are on tenure, they can choose to let you go for no reason at all, simply stating that it is "not in the interest of the school" to keep you. I know it is wrong. I know it is bad. But it happened, and I am trying to move on. This has been the worst experience in my life, and I no longer have the drive to use my beautiful tail. It deserves a home where it will be given the love and attention it deserves.

Without further ado, the information on the tail:

Purchased From: Finfolk Productions
Materials Used: 100% Dragonskin Silicone
Fluke Style: Loreena
Monofin Style: Competitor
Date Purchased: January 2014
Worn on Dry Land: 4 Times
Swam In: 3 Times
Flaws (paint chipping, tears, etc): NO FLAWS AT ALL
Extra Fins: Man O War Style tenacles, a Man O War style dorsal fin

Finfolk start their tails at $2500. This tail, with its extra fins and Competitor Monofin, cost me $3,000. I am selling it for $500 less than I purchased it for and it is literally brand new, with only 3 swims, one outside photoshoot, and some sitting around in it in the house. It has absolutely NO flaws, no tears or paint chipping, and its side seams are literally invisible--it is amazing.

Video of me swimming in it is available upon request. I took down the video after my workplace found it.

Measurements
(as sent to Finfolk... Tail is made to FIT these measurements, not necessarily measure this itself, as Dragonskin stretches. If your measurements are close to these it will fit you--DO NOT subtract from your measurements to decide if it fits!!! I AM these measurements and it fits me great!)

Waist: 29"
Hips: 37"
Bootay: 39.5"
Thighs: 36.5"
Waist to Floor: 40"
Shoe Size: 9.5 Women's

:jawdrop: That's so sad! You just got it. *hug* wishing you lots of luck :cry:

It would just fit me to a T. but the monofin is to small. :(

Hey Hon, SO sorry for your troubles! My mom says that's wrongful dismissal and unless you signed some kind of contract going into that job that you wouldn't do anything like mermaiding on the side then they broke the law. It isn't their business what you do. They don't own ALL your time. I hope this blows over and you find an even awesomer job and you get to keep your tail. :)

It is the same for most school boards. She's not on tenure it is the same here and I think shed prefer we not talk about it but focus on the tail.

Sorry for saying sorry, I guess then, But I think that blows.......

So sorry to hear that Seavanna :( That's so horrible.. well, I hope your tail finds a good home

Seavanna, I hope your tail goes to a great home!

I wish I had the $$ for that beautiful creation! :mermaid kiss:

Oh, your story is heartbreaking! Also, your tail is incredible, and I would buy it in a second if it were like half the price. Best of luck, dear. Chin up, you'll find something better. <3

I'm sorry! That sounds awful!! I wish I could afford it, I'm not even going to check the measurements because I know I can't afford it.

Yep that would fit me, and i love the colors! Sigh. It would take me months to gather that type of money, and it wont be here that long.

Also, sorry that happened. I Hope this experience opens other doors for you in the future. Good luck with your sale.

Sigh so pretty

I'm so, so sorry that happened to you, Seavanna. It's such a beautiful tail too, I would buy it in a heartbeat if I could! :(

I really hope things start looking up for you soon, and that your tail finds a good home (though it'd be nice if you didn't have to sell it at all). I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. <3

I listed this on my mer page, Seavanna. I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. In the meantime, I hope this beauty is picked up by a good buyer, and that you never stop believing in the magickal creature that you are. x

I'm so sorry and seriously pissed at the people who shattered your dream. This is so not fair! I hope you are ok, you are still a part of us, don't even forget that. We love you and support you.

I'm really sorry this is happening to you. <3 Good luck selling it.

So sorry to hear it :( you seemed so happy in that tail. I wish you all the luck <3

Good God I wish this tail would fit me, its my absolute favourite of all the tails I've seen

If it were me, I'd be all over town in that tail, just to show them what jerks they are.

I wish I had the money. I'd pay the price and have you keep the tail anyway cause this is awful :(

Mermaid Erie, that is so sweet :) If i had the funds, it would be shipping to me (so i can touch it once) and back to you right NOW! (but i am half way there)

Argh! This is super heart breaking sad... big hugs to you :(
I know your kinda looking for fast way to get funds and selling tail might just be the way but is there really no other way? What about your mer-business? Or any other way? Parents, friends, family?
I know none of us can tell you what to do. Follow your instinct and do what feels right and always remember "defeat is often temporary!"

I am so sorry to hear this, Seavanna! That tail is gorgeous and was so awesome on you! I wish there was another way to get you the money so you could pay your trip and keep your tail. Just in case you decide that you do want to continue doing parties.

What they did was so mean. I'm always worried about jobs doing that. :-( Well, maybe it was for the best, and there is something even greater waiting for you in the future!

Wishing best for your future endeavours and best of luck for finding a perfect loveable home for your mermaid tail! Never give up upon your dreams!

Please PM me!!!! (I am on my phone and can't PM you )

That's so sad you have to give up such an amazing tail! Just hope it will go to a loving home! X

If you offered a quick payment plan I would so love to add it to the Busselton Mermaids family :D xx

Or try ebay if things don't work out

The tail is sold. The Finfolk ladies paid to get it back because it was one of their favorites. :)

Okay, good. At least we know it's gone to a good home.

Glad to hear it, but I'm still sorry for her :(

It would have been a true coming dream for me if I could have bought this tail....:cry:But it has a good new home now....
