lol koi from japan are more expensive, theres a lot of factors that affect the price though.. hopefully someone who knows more can help you out a lil bit.
The pricing on koi will vary several different ways...
1. Proven Blood Line (aka: Breeder)
2. Domestic or Import?
3. PATTERN
4. Size
I will post pics of 2 Koi (that are mine)- The first koi would probably sell for more in a local area with people just it in for the hobby because it is "pretty"; as opposed to the second koi which has a stunning show quality pattern. (ignore the quality of the pics.. )
It's all in who you are targeting. A buddy of mine is a koi dealer, and koi that are completely "pond grade" meaning not worth more than $8 are selling for $100+ on ebay, and nice koi go for $10. It's a bit backwards.
Posting pics of your koi would be best so we can judge them..

Kodama Koi sells Japanese Imports, and there are many that only go for $100.
