What's it worth?

[Heyitsduy42]

They were advertized as Clowns in the Buy/Sell section here on MKF.

Yeah, but they are all gone!!

Honestly Mike, I say $500-$600. Thats giving a little break for buying all at once. Im sure you can get more if you sold them separately. I've seen the pack in person and they are impressive..

I vote 600 to 800. Somewhere in between you should get...

If I was being super serial then I would say $400 for everything. That's what I would ask for my normal pattern loaches. My oddballs and super oddballs would be a LOT more though.

JD_MAN, sorry, I'm a CL noob. What are oddballs and super oddballs?

Sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I wish I would have seen that ad.



Arowanabe, when it come time to sell, you can always ask for more and see if you have any takers. The worst that can happen is you have to settle for less.

What they are worth and what you would pay are two different things.

But whatever, everybodies got an opinion! Guess I always look at it from the stand point of the seller who might have grown it out. A 9in. clown loach takes FOREVER to get that big, hence more of the value IMO.

I totaly agree if they were mine i d want the 1300 because as you say they take forever to get that big and if he has grown it up factoring in the food cost and electricity all the kit to keep the tank in tip top condition over the years, then yes the seller deserves that ammount but i would aim to pay a lot less than they are worth because i like bargins lol
I guess your a nicer person than me

My oddball patterned CL are saddlebacks and half bars.

The super oddballs are the jigsaw, spot and my "v" loach.

Here's a reference...

They tend to bring more interest and sometimes more money...to the right person.

This is just my terminology, not really "the way".

I have not been able to get a hold of either of those. ^ Been looking for 3 years and counting.

VERY rare, ive only seen one pic of each. Posted somewhere here in the forum!

Those prices seem a bit high to me. I've seen 5 inch Loaches advertised at $15 elsewhere.

^^Agreed. I can get 5 inchers for $20 through the pet store I used to work for.
