Cory pricing USA

I found these prices on one of the pricelists that I buy from. I haven't had corys in years
but I thought as long as I'm going to order some other fish from this dealer why not
throw in a few corys? What I want to know is if this is fair pricing? I buy plecos but I'm
not familiar with current cory prices. I would also say that these fish are probably tank
raised and not wild.

CORY, ALBINO REGULAR 1.00
CORY, GREEN ANEUS TANK RAISED REGULAR 1.00
CORY, BROCHIS BRITSKI BIG 8.00
CORY, JULII LARGE 1.50
CORY, MELINI LARGE 1.75
CORY, PALEATUS REGULAR 1.00
CORY, RABAUTI LARGE 1.50

Looks fair to me. Looks like about what the wholesale price runs on them. Happy shopping!

Very fair pricing indeed. The Brochis britskii is a bargain. If they're available here, you have to pay at least 15 to 20 euros for them (roughly 17 to 22 dollars), and then they are medium sized.
The prices of the Cories are very low as well.
Go for it (them)

In my experience: shop_price = 3 * wholesaler_price. Apply this to Brochis britski above, and you end up with $24, which is pretty close to your estimated upper end price. Here, where I've seen them, they've been around 13 pounds -> around $20 too. But if they are really BIG, then that's a very good price.
