My son in law who lives on the outskirts of Cambridge is filling in his pond
soon in anticipation of some building work and so needs to find a permanent
home for about 30 Koi Carp in sizes up to about 12" long.

I understand they could be worth "serious money" so I am wondering (on his
behalf) how and where he should advertise them to get a fair price.

Any suggestions, please?

He needs to identify what type each fish is. I sold two Yellow Ogon a while
back, 9" and 10" for £50 the two. Different varieties are worth different.

Thank you for the tip. I'll pass that on.

Though I think he'll know the types, he has no idea what prices to expect.
Your posting helped!

There are specialist Koi forums on the net. I guess it wouldn't be right for
me to post link, but.....Google is your friend
You can get a better idea of likely prices from one of them.

There's nothing wrong with posting links on a usenet forum. Anything
that helps someone is good.

A matter of principle Kurt. It is not done to advertise one fish group on
another. Brian can email me if he needs a pointer.

In a forum supported by paid advertising by those who perform the same
service, the principle applies (it would be stated in a set of forum
rules). These forums are generally privately hosted.
(I run a forum for vintage Renault cars).

In a public usenet forum (you are probably seeing this through Google, I
use a news service, Giganews) that is not beholden to advertisers, it is
quite proper to post links to anything that may benefit others. This is
what a public forum should be. We're all here to help each other with
what we have knowledge of.

I must have gotten lost in translation... but regarding a link for selling
koi www.koiphen.com where you can post pictures of said fish. People there
can help price them I'm sure. Though it isn't always type, breeder and what
farm they can from often get the higher prices with good looks, of course.
;-) Then there is koishack.com & koination.com... & ? Please post away. I
don't have the time to hit all the other places, can hardly keep up with
RPM and you know how slow we are. ~ jan
