OK so I have a chick that's willing to sell me 4 discus for $140 and I was wondering if this is a good price for me. They are around 6inch. 2 are brilliant turquoise one is a blue diamond and 1 is a fire red. One or the turquoise does have a missing eye but it seems to be fine without it
 
Price is good, but it all depends on the quality of the specimens. Got any pics?
 
Jose is right, pics so anyone can give you an idea.

The quality was pretty good tHey were active and very colorful. I Don't know exactly What hapned to the eye so I'm a hit worry bout That. Doesn't matter since I decided to get some from my lfs since they offer a 2 weeks guarantee and he gave me dealer's price. Only problem is they're a lot smaller. Only around 2-3 inches

Worst discus you can buy! Most are stunted runts and culls that will never grow. If those others were a good size already, you should have bought them :)
 
That is not necessarily true. If you have a good LFS and you trust them you should be supporting them.

If you knew how the discus trade works, then you'd know it's not a false statement, and has nothing to do with supporting a LFS.
