I depends of course.
the for sale stand will be priced by the bag (pair's or fry) depending on the owner. Average last year was £5-8 a pair
Auction fish will start from £3 and last year was averaging £5-15 a pair, with many show quality pairs selling for £30.

However a couple of pairs sold for silly money, 1 pair was £69 and the other was £110 a pair

here is a clip of them

[helterskelter]

I know the feeling
It's a Japanese blue bottom sword and not an endler BTW

 

[puppyjess123]

Wow £110 for a guppy thing. Woah thats a lot for - imagine you got home and they died haha funny. I would have to like wait for two of my birthdays just to afford them!

 

[helterskelter]

I know the person who got it and he been breeding them now for nearly a year
They was from an Italian breeder sent them to the show, gotta say though they are a stunning fish.
