I live in the United States

my parents have a 150 gallon pond in their front yard with 6 koi and 2
goldfish. they are seriously outgrowing it. we're going to build them
a larger pond in the back yard, but our yard is small and i think no
matter how big we make it, it will still be too small for all those
fish once they're adults.

i am considering selling a couple of the koi. i have a metallic gold
and black snakeskin koi that is about 8-10 inches long, an orange
metallic koi that is about 10-12 inches long, two butterfly koi, one
black and white, one kind of a peachy color, that are i think 6-8
inches not counting their tails, and one blue koi that is a good 12
inches. he's a lighter gray blue with darker blue spekles all over
him. and also a little 5" platinum koi.

this is the blue koi, so you can see his color. that is a 6" wide net,
and as you can see, he's sticking right out of the top of it. this
picture was also taken LAST YEAR.

these fish were all bought at about 2-3 inches of length at various LFS
for about $5 or less. they're not specially bred or anything. i'm just
wondering what i might be able to get for them, IF i decide to sell
them.
========================
Your little pond is horribly overcrowded. Not knowing the going rate where
you live (the UK) it's impossible to say what you can get for them. Here in
the mid-south of the USA I get $20 to $30 each since the store will have to
make a profit when selling them. You may get a bit more if you advertise
them in one of those Penny Pincher newspapers. Mine are usually smaller
when I sell them though.
