How much $$ is a 20" koi worth
It is interesting to me to find people come on here and ask "how much are my koi worth?". It would seem to me that if a koi was "worth" a significant amount of money, then the owner would know it, becuase they paid for it. However, I may be wrong.
In general, for local pond keeping, etc...if one is culling,
how much would one Reasonably sell a nice pondgrade 24" fish for?
Or a 20"
Or a 16"
Or a 12"?
For instance, I live in a town where there is no koi shop for 2 hours either way. If I have a couple of larger 15-20" koi that I'd like to advertise for sale, how much would I charge? What is a fair price?
I have considered just raising some pondgrade koi in our pond to a decent size, and try selling here in town. Does that work?
We will not be undersold!
Because when we need room for fresh blood in the pond our pond grade fish between 16 and 22 inches will go to a nice spring fed retirement pond next county over. We get new small exciting fish to grow out and the retirees get a 1/2 acre 20 ft. deep home that is strickly no fishing.
What I wonder is who is getting the better deal, Rose and I or the retirees? :eek: :thinking:
