In the San Diego area, private sellers are about $30.00 for that size. I have an Orengi Ogon that is about 7" right now for $30.00. The rub is I don't ship, and I don't get home until mid afternoon.

yea if possible though im looking to go with breeding sized ones
male kohaku and female asagi
or vice versa

but the dad of my bosses has a good koi source i found out. he QTs his stuff for a month so maybe ill go with the shotgun method and get 10 kohaku and 10 asagi and hopefully ill be able to get at least one pair out of that

I'm with DrCase, Champion Koi has very nice low cost koi. I'll be going there when I go to the Camellia Koi Club Sept 12 - 13, 2009.
Here is one I bought there a couple of years ago but It was not cheap.

If you have a koi show near you that would be a good place to purchase nice young koi in the $30 range.

[DoDad]

As long as there is no nets in the pond. I caught her last year and took her to a show and she turned pinkish yellow from stress. The judge gave her the judges award.
