    (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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
