Put a dollar value on this Sanke and Koromo

The Sanke is in the 8-9" size. The Koromo is 9-10". The Koromo got a little lathered up jumping out of the bowl. So what sort of retail value would they have?

PS
I think the 28-135mm lens messes with the conformation a little.

I would put those in the $100-200 price range. Pretty fish.

a wide range, but judging from pictures and with the limited information given, is not the most accurate way to judge price.

I have seen koi similar to the pictures for sale in real life for anywhere from $25 to $500. Please note that I did not say sold for those prices. Great majority a lot closer to the lower number than the higher.

I agree with Bob and would estimate $50 each.

I suspect their value is less than $125 but a novice hobbyist could pay more. I see problems with both fish.

Im with Ray,

$50 but i wouldnt buy them, $50 would buy better koi if you had a good dealer near you. at least it would near where i live. but these would be in a $50 dollar vat. why the question?

For the size and quality, I would put a retail price of $50-150...Now if they are from a famous breeder, maybe alittle higher 10-15%.

Thai koi

FYI these koi were both from Thailand. They were inexpensive. They were probably some of the better koi in the batch. I have had them since May and they have grown well and held color. I like them better than a lot of the Japanese koi I also got in this year that were higher.
