one of the things omitted in the discussion was what the market will bare.
for example if your economy is struggling, and a dealer usually buys X amount of koi from a producer, if supply is constant and demand is down
then you can get a better deal for the same quality of koi. the reverse works as well with limited supply and higher demand. the cost goes up.
look at the value of currency today, canada, the US, and japan thier money value is down.look at the euro and the pound sterling. they're strong!
also i have seen in retailers, bins with no prices. you have to ask. let's say
a guy drives up in a mercedes and asks a price. later a guy drives up with an economy vehicle of vintage years and asks for the price of the same koi. i have overheard quite a difference in quotation.(hint drive up in something on it's last legs that belches smoke and runs and sputters after you turn it off. a good backfire is great if you can get one!)lol
seriously......the
bottom line... know your budget and know a good koi when you see one.
