Your last two videos have been the best Tim. Full of information and learning. Looking forward to seeing the tosai. Hope you pencil me in for 8 nice pieces. Brilliant.

Fantastic video. Was really nice to see the process of choosing and see what you prefered. I chose the same showa but not the same kohaku. The sanke's body and skin... wow. The landscape was amazing. My dream to take picture in winter in japan. One day... 😊

So interesting, can we see more of this 'live' buying? Really soul filling to see others spend and yet get to see the koi ha.
@TimWaddington8 ай бұрын
Yeah I’ll try and do it when clients are actually there too. With the new camera I don’t have to use my phone which is where I’m selling the Koi. So hopefully more.

I heard you mention Mark Gardner. I still watch some of his videos. It hurts my heart that he started breeding koi which he said was a dream of his and was not here to continue it. A man with great passion and joy for Koi.

That kage showa was beautiful. What is the biggest gamble with tosai? Conformation, skin, or pattern?

How do you not pick more. when there are so many ? Apart from what’s for the client ?

It’s price dependent really. Some are less then the clients budget and some are more.

@@mister8116 when I sell Koi in Japan I work on a set %. Koi of this value are very rarely sold on the off chance someone might come in the shop and buy them. The market for sales of high quality expensive Koi is very small. These would have been too expensive for me to sell in the shop, that’s why we sell them in Japan.

I understand that often its 'eye of the beholder' but you put three back at 9.55...why ? what was 'wrong' with them ? The two selected together ( 16.30 ) can I ask what the price is..or an aproximation of what the price is. You said the koi would stay there till October..why ? I wish I understood all this.
@TimWaddington8 ай бұрын
I just preferred the other ones really. I look at the best options for the client. I just didn’t feel them really, nice Koi but I have to be sure for my client. I want return business. The Koi are sold, it’s not fair to reveal the price. Also, on a different day they could have been more. The Koi in Japan go out into massive ponds for the summer and they will get really good growth and hopefully come out in October around 62cm. Check out some of the harvest videos I posted in October/November 👍
