A couple of points

First off, she would definitely be in the 6 figures and the $250,000 may be in the ball park. Keep in mind that the Japanese are very good at getting every cent possible.

Also keep in mind, just because a Koi makes GC does NOT mean it will produce GC, or even anything near the same level as itself. There may be some "marketing value", but realistically as a long term high quality breeder, it would be a "long short". "Proven" Breeders (Oyagoi)are worth their wieght in gold. This is a far cry from an "unknown GC.
