Still have my JK Flowerhorn......

He's $250 if anyone wants him (MFK price). But I've had him up here for a while without
a bite. I'm putting this guy up for sale at my LFS tomorrow. I know I can sell him there.
And for an obscenely greater amount of money. So we'll see. I give it 2 weeks max.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Heres my flier. lol

LoL. That's me.

I bought him from aquascape as an srt.
Live and learn.....


I dont even want to get into how many times we have been back and forth about it too.
Pedro at aquascape is the king of avoidance. Dont ever buy fish from there.

LoL Thanks. I posted some of these up at LFS's. I have bumped into a couple people that have offered me a great deal of money for him back when he wasn't for sale. I'm hoping they see the flyier. lol

As unique as the white is on that FH, I honestly think no one is ever going to put down $375. I suggest looking at other people's FHs and how much they are selling. You might even get lucky getting $100 for it. In the other hand, if this was a midas, it might fetch more, but as a flowerhorn, I highly doubt it. Sorry, just had to let you know.

Thank you for your input, but I'm already fully aware of pricing for different fishes. On this site I'd probably fetch $100-$150 max. I know how much this fish is worth on this site. I also know how much flowerhorns go for in my area. Witch is why it is set at such an Outrages price on my flyer. For example; Your average 4" $30 FH on here would fetch between $100-150 in my area. I'm sure if I lived in Cali, things would be different. Supply and demand...
I have had offers of between $300-400 when I had this guy on display at a LFS.
There are LFS down here with FH between $800-900. They wouldt get more then 200 on here. But people buy them.
Not everyone thinks to go on the internet for fish.

And the white on it doesn't make it unique. It actually makes it a lower quality FH.

Also, you say that if it were a midas, it might fetch more money. Were I live it is the exact opposite.
Just like with Oscars I'd almost have to pay someone to take a midas off my hands.

This thread wasnt really made to sell him on here. It was put up to show the flyer I made that I put up at different LFS and to be able to give an update if I sold it.

Hey Camshaft.....I totally understand what you are saying about supply and demand within a market....It's so crazy to see what some lfs charge for a fish; then when you drive to another place an hour away(in my state) charge 1/4 the price for nearly the same or even better fish....supply and demand within certain demographics blows my mind.

I know, it's sad.

That's why I'm so glad I came across this site. So much info and help on everything.

Wait.....I take that back. This site is evil. It is slowly sucking the life out of me. It's worse than gambling.
