    Pricing 'N' class Japan Blue Endlers

    I have Japan Blue Endlers that do what Endlers do and either need to rehome, trade or sell some. I can find nothing online that seems consistent as far as ballpark pricing goes. Anyone on ideas with fair pricing? Seems to be a rare fish on the internet, but then, it is the internet.

My first attempt at red cherry...
