Some of Momotaro's 'VERY' best tosai and nisai are sold through their auctions.
You have to be there to see the quality.

Ahhh.... now we are talking. So these cream of the crops could only be obtain through auction? & those breeders or dealers whose bids is successfull could leave their tosai in momotaro farm for them to grow into nisai b4 transportiing them home or to their countries.

This is true SF, koi going through the auction are not just koi they want to clear out cheap, they are very high quality koi. (many people think auction koi must be lower quality, NO)
Max often buys from Momotaro, do you know Max?

I bought this tosai in the March auction, it was 11 months old and 49cm. If all is well I will see it again in 3 weeks. I hope it can stay another year or two longer.

Hi Maurice, yes I know Max from Max koi farm. In fact his koi farm is just 30minutes away from my resident. The other 3 dealers that frequently visit Japan,their nishikigoi farm are also within 20 minute drive away.
Max import high quality momotaro nishikigoi & the other products as well.
I am going to his farm tomorrow.
Thanks for the picture. Very beautifull, high quality nishikigoi.

Bob,
My 'dealer' didn't get any other's of interest to me , no. Looks like I have to go and sort something myself! ;-)

Regarding the 'figure' given above for No. 8 kohaku, unless I've got the wrong exchange rates and I'm confident I haven't, then that figure is off the mark. But seeing as I didn't buy it I don't think it's right for me to be posting other peoples financial dealings/business.

Easy Norwegian Log.

Hello everybody

Her it go something like this.

Price with item if not any special agreements documents are signed off all attending and it thereby is closed or semi closed.

There by any act too conceal or otherwise hold facts concerning items freely viewable on an open source (ac the internet) would be an typical “Citizen Kane” act.
Correction too facts is welcomed but should not conceal the fact that its trying too correct

The link between item (Nishikigoi) – Price – Client (or customer) well this is more a question off taste and good behaviour.
If the link is made to prove or enlighten it could pas but only under the strictest scrutiny. This is a case off normally best left alone.

Must just point out that I haven’t read anything off the sort, price or link to new owner. But I must say the evaluated value off the given items made off some off the best eyes around is indeed in if not common interest most certainly in Nishikigoi Kichi interest.

Keokoi,
No worries, no apologies neccessary.
Each to their own but my take, regardless of posts suggesting no confidentaility agreement or similar is in place, is that it's not for me to post others financial business.

Without getting into who paid what, I am still interested in knowing the range of prices. Hope somebody can share that much.
