This is me from the back. You can see the nice new tail I had just bought and the little piece I crocheted to cover where the tail is pinned.

I have friends. |D
Nah, but seriously, I snoop around and do major footwork. Most of my animal bits are from taxidermy scraprooms, tannery surplus, or just people selling old parts- for instance, I recently got ahold of some good ermine and fox wallhangers because a guy who isn't really into fur was selling some from his vacation cabin he had sold.
Places with giant $20+ tails are probably (I say 'probably' because I know some good folks out there who sell top tails without) getting them from fur farms or buying them off prime pelts. It costs more to pay a guy to pull a really good one off a pelt than it does to wait around for them.
Sometimes I'll see people with tails who will say "Oh, no, I'm sure it's not from a fur farm, I would feel horrible if it was", but the tail will be , like, a marble fox or an amber fox tail, which only occur from years of selective breeding.
