Have you contacted a lfs to see if they will take

If you have a local Koi club they will assuredly take it. If you live in Western Washington there are a handful.

 

Koi tend to be more valuable the larger they are, interesting no one is willing to buy it. Perhaps overwinter it for a couple more months, I would almost guarantee you’ll have a buyer in the spring. Depending on color Aka Matsuba are sought after koi.

If there's a local botanical garden in your area, they often have koi ponds. You could see if they can take it in.
