Lost a few that hid in the waterlily pots. But only 2 that we know of, I took a few pics late of the Midsize cream of the crop. Might get one tomorrow of what I put back in for spring. The waterlilys really need to be divided but it will have to wait for spring. They haven't gotten done since Steve broke his back, this is the first big cleaning since then and I got a late start since I woke up with a migraine. Koi last weekend & wakin this!!
I have a Question for people on this board, I have someone that wants to buy some of them. What do you think is a fair price? I don't normally sell wakins this large & don't see any comparable.

I love your 3rd piece! Very good color and marking! Nice!

Those have great markings and seems to have a very deep red (desirable). If those larger ones were on the goldfishnet auction they would be priced $90-120 each. Personally I would never pay such prices, but Tommy has figured out a way to make that pricing work for him. On the other side of the spectrum, an unknowledgeable person would simple call those "feeder fish" and would be insulted to pay over $2 each. So I guess you need to determine the knowledge-to-value ratio for your particular circumstance. It looks like there might be some fused tails in there, those would be valued considerably less.

The kind and knowledgeable Mr. Bekko has Wakin prices that I think are very reasonable & realistic. You can find his website at raingarden.us

Yes he does, & he doesn't have anything like these on his site. LOL I do look & buy fish from Steve now & then.
