I don't think Tony means the thread will cause problems. He is saying to watch out for "unknown" dealers or people that might want to pickup and a $500 koi in Japan and try and sell it to you for 6k since they know your budget. I think your thread is a good idea as the real dealers, and I'm sure you know who they are, now know your budget and that you are shopping around so they need to stay competitive with the pricing but as always......Buyer Beware!
