    in search of silicone tail

    Hi I'm new and trying to get into professional mermaiding so I am now ready to upgrade from a fabric to silicone tail. Anybody looking to get one off their hands let me know and tell me how much you want for it.

    You may want to add your measurements. Its not considerate to have people spending time to offer when its likely not the right size.

    Good idea. I'm new and don't really know the site etiquette yet.

    If you're going from fabric to silicone, you'll find yourself greatly overwhelmed and disappointed. Mers often make that mistake - it is best to go from fabric to neoprene, neoprene to basic or partial, then to silicone. Or fabric to basic/partial, otherwise you'll find yourself regretting your purchase and decision.
    I do happen to have tails available in all levels, I sent you a message to help you. If you still are set on silicone, go for latex instead as you'll get the realistic appearance but less of the hassle.

    Personally, I made my first tail out of silicone and love it. Only you can decide what type of tail is right for you.

    You can always make the leap and make your own silicone tail so it's unique to you and only you. I'm currently making my own tail

    I have a MerNation up for sale. Check here on the forums, or Message me on Facebook @Sif Whimsy. I'm variant on price, depending on locations, and despite the fact that i'd like enough to finish paying medical debts for it, I'm getting sick of it laying around.

    I have scales, a fluke, powermesh, scale molds, and pigments for sale together to make a silicone tail to your own size if you are interested

    Gigi, my old Purple Rainbows is probably worth about 5 or 600. Depending on size, you could likely fix its issues.

    I have a tail for sale. I'm 5'3 and 110 pounds. It looks like a Little Mermaid Tail. I'm asking $500 plus shipping. I live in Louisiana. Thanks
