Default Two Large Butterfly Koi to new home

I said re-homing because some Koi enthusiast don't like the ideas of
buying and selling koi. In an attempt to be more sensative I phrased
it rehoming. Kind of like adoption.
Why a fee? Since I may not know the person taking the koi and how
much they care about koi or will value them, the fee will filter out
those who don't really care or won't take good care of them. Kind of
like the principle "easy come, easy go". It's also an exchange to help
fund an expansion project for my pond.

Two beautiful 12"-14" Decorative, Pond Quality Butterfly KOI to a good
home. Pictures available soon.
These KOI are healthy. Reasonable re-homing/ adoption fee of $125
each. Available for pick up Thursday afternoon from 5:30 until they
are re-homed. Not recommended for newly built ponds or beginners and
absolutely not for tanks. Would be great for someone with an
established pond over 1500 gallons with enough space and depth to
provide a healthy and adequate home for these Koi.
Email me with any questions and if interested we can make
arrangements. Pick up preferred (Lawrenceville). Bring box or crate
with appropriate plastic bag and rubber band for transport. No
shipping available.
If you don't have necessary transport items we can catch and package
for transport for an additional $5 and we can meet at either Discover
Mills Mall or Mall of Georgia.
Thanks

Forgive my ignorance.
How is a "reasonable re-homing/ adoption fee of $125" different from
just saying that they for sale for $125?

What is re-homing and why does it require a charge?

This perked my interest!
