AUCTIONKOI
Menu
AuctionKoi.com is proud to be your premier destination for Japanese Koi auctions in the United States. Our platform is dedicated to connecting Koi enthusiasts and collectors with reputable breeders from Japan, offering an exceptional selection of exquisite Japanese Koi.
With a deep passion for the artistry and beauty of Koi, we have created an online marketplace that brings together the finest breeders and the most discerning buyers. Our auctions provide a unique opportunity for Koi enthusiasts to acquire top-quality fish directly from renowned breeders in Japan, all from the comfort of their own homes.
During a breeder auction, koi are not yet in the United States and are still in Japan. Koi that are won are then shipped to the United States, quarantined for 4+ weeks by regulation, and shipped via Delta Cargo to the buyer. The buyer is responsible for all shipping and handling fees which are invoiced post auction. We will contact you via phone or email to arrange a preferred shipping time, location, and payment.
During an In-House auction, Japanese koi are already in the United States and are ready to be shipped to the buyer shortly after an auction has completed. The buyer is responsible for all shipping and handling fees which are invoiced post auction. We will contact you via phone or email to arrange a preferred shipping time, location, and payment.
When you win a koi, we’ll reach out to you to schedule a shipping date. AuctionKoi’s default shipping method is Delta Cargo, vendors will asses their own shipping arrangements with you. Shipping costs vary depending on the size of the koi and the type of auction you are participating in. Shipping costs are assessed post-auction and any additional fees or refunds will be invoiced seperately.
If your koi passes away in transit from a Breeder to the US or in quarantine at our facility, you will be credited the amount paid for your loss to your auctionkoi.com account to bid on future auctions. In the event your koi passes away in transit from our US location to your location, the cost of the Koi is unfortunately not normally able to be refunded or credited.
Payments are due within 48 hours of an auction ending. You will be sent a payment link to purchase your Koi. If payment is not recieved, auctionkoi.com reserves the right to cancel your order and re-list the koi for auction.
For Breeder auctions, please expect to wait 6-8+ weeks before your koi is shipped to you. This is due to the koi being prepared and shipped from Japan to the US, then quarantined for 4+ weeks by regulation before shipping again to your location. For In-House auctions, please expect to wait 1-2 weeks before your koi is shipped to you after an auction has ended. We will contact you via phone or email to arrange a preferred shipping time, location, and payment when the shipment is prepared.

If you would like to board your fish for the winter time, we will hold them in our mud pond for $50/month per fish. Koi fish in the mud pond can not then be harvested again until the spring time. If you are wishing to board your koi for a shorter period of time, we also offer indoor boarding for $75/month per koi which can then be shipped at any time.
