What else do you know about it? Age? Sex? Length? Breeder?

Okay, so what is your expectations for this fish? It looks totally finished now!! If you plan on growing it out at all, it'll probably ruin it. It also looks male. If you want to take this to a show within the next few months then you have a real shot at winning. The depth of the colors is amazing. If this is the case, buy it, win an award and then sell it. Should be able to make a small profit off it if you turn it around immediately after the show.

Interesting!

unless you can see the koi yourself, you shouldn't buy it because I could see so much photoshop in the pic. This means color and other things might not be real

Good plan on the reselling, if it will deteriorate. How can you tell the pciture has been tampered with?
