Don't miss
out on our
current
auctions!

Our auctions follow the model of an auction house and are easy to use. Register on our site to take part. After registering, you can bid on the koi that are available. The auction ends at a set time. If a bid is placed within the last 2 minutes, the auction is extended by a further 2 minutes – repeatedly, until no new bids come in. The highest bidder at that point wins.

You can either raise the current bid by the minimum increment, or enter a maximum bid that you are willing to spend on a koi.
The system then automatically bids the smallest possible higher amount on your behalf, so that you stay ahead of the other bidders. As soon as your limit has been outbid, you are notified and the system stops bidding for you. You can then enter a new maximum bid.

In our auctions you can raise your bid until the auction ends. A bid cannot be deleted. If you have made a typing mistake, please contact us.

Payment can be made either by bank transfer or in cash and is due on receipt of the invoice.
Please note that payment by PayPal is unfortunately not possible for live animals.

Our koi are packed securely and prepared for shipping. We use dedicated shipping methods to make sure the fish stay safe and healthy in transit.

We ship our koi expertly, in packaging made specifically for live fish. Depending on the size and number of fish you can choose between the proven live-animal service from GO! Express and our new, lower-cost shipping option with UPS .

Germany:

Shipping with GO! Express

• 55,00 € for 1 koi up to 39 cm
• 89,00 € für 1–4 Tosai zusammen oder 1 Koi bis 70 cm
• 125,00 € for 1 koi from 71 to 80 cm

Delivery takes place Tuesday to Friday until 12:00.

For a surcharge of 17,50 € GO! Express additionally offers one of the following options:

New: shipping with UPS

• 35,00 € for 1 koi up to 39 cm
• 65,00 € für 1–4 Tosai zusammen oder 1 Koi bis 55 cm

Shipping with UPS is intended for koi up to 55 cm. With larger koi the box becomes too heavy and UPS charges a substantial surcharge. For larger koi we therefore recommend the live-animal service from GO! Express.

Delivery by UPS takes place exclusively Tuesday to Thursday, mornings until 12:00.

To keep transport safe and predictable, we need at least one full working day as a buffer after delivery before a Saturday or a public holiday. If the Thursday is a public holiday, for example, UPS delivery can only take place on the Tuesday.

The exact shipping date is always agreed with you. Please make sure someone is present on the agreed delivery day to receive the fish.
