Tony,

if you give you a blank check and you happen to put a large amount, the bank might bounce. we don't want that, do we? probably need to take out an equity loan to bring one these home.

Further... anyone have any idea whatsoever about how much a fish like this would go for at the auction??

Don't get me wrong... I simply cannot get a fish like this yet. I'm too new and so is my pond. I'll make more mistakes and learn with the fish I have. But one day... when I get a handle on things. So this is purely an educational question.

Thanks!

Yep, you picked a beauty. I saw this and of course it is way out of my league. I would guess that female would go for the low 5 figures. Nice sanke!

Joel will bid on her if you like. Just let him know what koi and the max you would spend....then add broker fee and shipping. I have done this several times with excellent results from Joel. He is a very knowledgable and fair dealer.

If I had the bucks I deserve in my pockets, I'd buy #176.
She's the Kohaku hunk of my dreams. (don't tell the DSO *LOL*)

And while that pocket is open, I'd add #58. Nice Showa...

...and #17 Sanke:

Of course I'd have to have my mud ponds and a nice greenhouse finished first...........
