Object Transfering

I want to propose a new feature for SL where we would be able to give away objects currently rezed in world. Basicly it would just be a way of making something and giving it to someone without having to place in inventory and giving to them through a typical transfer. This would be very useful in building projects where the item has ben crafted to fit an area or is made and placed in a spot or way that is very difficult, and rather than remove it to give to the build/land owner to use and replace you could just transfer ownership to the person. Of course the creator rights will not be changed and the maker/owner would have to make a copy for themself before giving away if they want one for themself (or giving one away would just auto lock all prims transfered and place an orginal in their inventory unless the object is not theirs and no copy) this will also be disabled if the object is no transfer
Basicly this could just be a new right click pie chart option where you pick "give away" and either type in a person's name or pick a name from friends list, obviously to prvent people for giving away controversial or improper material to anyone the reciver must approve the transfer, in addition it might also be able to add the otion in the edit object window under more where it lists the object details, next to where is says owner and lists the resident's name insteed of the profile button next totheir name (becasue who needs to click their own profile button in the edit window?) insteed have a "change" button so the owner can click that and change who the owner is.

This comes as I am helping a friend build a bar in SL and I have designed and placed several objects, however we just found a better place to put the bar but we can't pack up the bar in a builder's box since it is joint made. It would greatly simplfy things if I coul simply give all ownership of my prims to her to lock and place in the box to move the bar but as is we will have to take our seperate parts and begin the long...long...long process of reassemling them in the new location.

this is just an idea I thought would help multiple builders to create objects and buildings and keep parts and objects where they are needed when transfering

But wouldn't it be neater to have a "Give" option in the pop up 'Pie' as mentioned.

I 'share' a flat and want to give some items of furnishing as a 'surprise' housewarming gift - not much of a surprise asking the other resident to buy the gift - albeit for 0L$!!

It would have to have a dialogue to accept it, at which point ownership is transferred.
The alternative is to allow the sale option to specify WHO can buy the object from you, that way you can set it to sale for L$0 and not have to worry that someone else might take it.

When the transaction is completed does this leave the object in place, or is it put into the buyers inventory?

If you sell the original it remains in place, perfect for buying a house someone built onto your land for you for example.
But it has the danger as I say, anyone can buy it for L$0 if they get to it before your buyer, so you and the recipient have to be online at the same time.
