I agree with Sue on the pricing, but I would never advertise a puppy as a parti or parti carrier unless I was certain that they are. Even if I had two parents that were both carriers and they produced a puppy with a lot of white, I would never say that this baby was a carrier...I might say, there is a great possibility, but not 100%.

Ok, I rambled...hope I made sense. I am just confused as to how you are so certain that he is a carrier. By the way, he is cute but doesn't look like any parti carrier that I have ever seen.
With as loudly as this pup is marked (loud for even a carrier) and the OP's description of the dam "mother is Gold with white marking white all up under her chest, her mouth, and her two back feet" who also seems to be loudly marked, this pup has a parti gene or some sort of spotting gene. This pup doesn't have a small spot on his chest and some white on his toes that's sometime seen in traditional yorkies who are not carriers. He has white on his face, pink and white nose, white on top of his head and white on feet and chest (and that's only what I can see in the photo).
