Transfer
When the Collectible Moves, Its Story Moves With It
Transfer collectibles between Relic Roster users while preserving the record associated with the item.
Transfer Types
Sold, Gifted, or Other
Sold
You sold the piece. Add the sale details, and that information can help set up the buyer's acquisition record.
Gifted
You're handing the piece to family, a friend, or another collector. The record goes with it.
Other
Trades, estate transfers, and anything that isn't quite a sale or a gift.
What Transfer Does
The Record Doesn’t Start Over
Collector to Collector
Hand a collectible and its record straight from your account to another Relic Roster user's.
The Other Person Has to Accept
Nothing moves until the recipient accepts the transfer, so you've both signed off before it goes through.
The History Comes Along
The new owner doesn't start from a blank record. What you've built up on the item moves with it.
The ID Stays Attached
The collectible's Relic Roster ID carries over in the transfer, so its record stays one continuous thread.
A Head Start on the Sale Record
For a sold item, the transaction details you enter can seed the buyer's acquisition record instead of leaving them to fill it in later.
How It Works
How a Transfer Works
01
Start a Transfer
Pick the collectible in your roster and choose a type: Sold, Gifted, or Other.
02
Send It to the Other Collector
Point the transfer at their Relic Roster account and add any sale details.
03
They Accept
The recipient looks it over and accepts. The collectible and its record land in their roster.
04
The Record Keeps Going
The Relic Roster ID stays with the item, and its history picks up under the new owner.
Transfer and Relic Roster ID
Transfer and Relic Roster ID go hand in hand. Every collectible carries a Relic Roster ID, and Transfer is how that item and its record reach a new owner without the history resetting.

FAQ
Common Questions
It's how a collectible and its record move from one Relic Roster user to another after a sale, a gift, or a trade. The recipient accepts it, and the item's Relic Roster ID and history come along rather than being re-created from scratch.
You can mark a transfer as Sold, Gifted, or Other. If it's a sale, you can add the transaction details, which can help set up the buyer's acquisition record.
Yes. A transfer only completes once the recipient accepts it in their account. Until then, the collectible stays in your roster.
No. Transfer moves the item's record between accounts, nothing more. It doesn't process payments, hold money in escrow, transfer legal title, or guarantee that a sale goes through. You and the other collector handle payment and terms yourselves.
It stays attached to the collectible. That's what lets the ownership history continue under the new owner instead of becoming a separate, fresh record.
No. It records that two collectors agreed to move an item's record between their accounts. It isn't a certificate of authenticity, a bill of sale, or proof of legal ownership.
