Nothing moves unless you release it
A Moody cannot be resold, re-registered, or reactivated by whoever happens to be holding it. The registry only accepts a transfer that the recorded owner personally releases — and the release is deliberately slow, on purpose, so a person under pressure has a way out.
Owner opens the release
Started from the registered account only. A holder without the account cannot begin one.
Email verification
A signed confirmation goes to the address of record. Changing that address restarts the clock from zero.
Live video release
Face to face with a house reviewer — not a recording. The piece is shown, the plate is read, the owner states the release.
Duress check & cooling period
The reviewer is trained to spot coercion, and every account carries a private safe word that silently cancels the transfer while appearing to approve it.
Registry writes the transfer
Only then does the plate change hands, with the whole release logged to the chain of custody forever.
If a piece is reported stolen
Theft reports are filed by the owner with one button in the Village app. Pressing it does two things at once: the piece is frozen in the registry, so it can’t be sold, transferred or verified as clean, and its tracking array inside the Moody switches on and becomes active. Until that button is pressed, the array stays dormant and reports its position to no one — including us. 9″ Tech Moody only; the 6″ plush has no electronics.
Buying from another collector
Buy direct from Moody Mobb and the house is your counterparty — none of this applies. Buy from another collector and it all does, because the person a private sale knows least about is the one arriving with the money. Caveat emptor is the wrong way round for a registry, so on a private sale the buyer is the one who gets checked.
Offer
A buyer names a price on a specific listed piece. Nothing is collected and no identity is checked until the seller says yes — there is nothing to verify yet.
Accepted
Once the seller accepts, the buyer’s funds move into escrow immediately — held by a regulated payment and escrow provider, never by Moody Mobb — and stay there through the call, the delivery, and past it. If the piece fails authentication, the ownership does not match, or the transfer cannot complete, the money is not released to the seller.
Booked
A live vetting call is scheduled with the soonest available independent agent. The scheduler runs around the clock across time zones — the middle of the night somewhere is still a real slot.
Identity
Full KYC, live on camera: a government photo ID, front and back, or a passport photo page; a liveness check; and the document held beside the buyer’s face in one frame. Nothing is accepted from a gallery upload.
Vetter
An independent, background-checked vetter who works for neither the house nor the seller confirms on the record that the portrait matches, the document is genuine and in date, and the paying name matches the account. The safe word is asked here too.
Shipped
Only once cleared does the seller ship — overnight, insured for the full price, signature required, with shipping and insurance paid up front by the buyer. Tracking is attached to the sale. There is no meeting and no cash.
Delivered & verified
On delivery the buyer scans the plate and chip against the registry and confirms condition in the app. Either side can freeze the funds with one tap.
Released
The registry transfers and the funds move at the same moment, once delivery is confirmed and the piece verifies.
All purchases and resales are shipped overnight, insured for the full price, with signature, and paid in full up front. In-person exchanges are not offered.
The parcel is insured for the full sale price and signed for, so every hand-over leaves a record.
One tap holds the funds and raises the desk, silently — the other party is not told it happened.

What this policy doesn’t replace
A peer-to-peer listing marketplace is not live yet — this describes the process a private sale on the Village is designed to run under, not a service available today. Identity verification, biometric comparison, call recording, holding client funds in escrow, and insured overnight shipping each carry their own licensing, consent and filing requirements that differ by state and by country. None of that is satisfied by software alone; real counsel, registrations and filings come before the first private sale runs through this process, and the insurance limits and the hold after delivery are policy to be set with an insurer and counsel, not fixed here in advance.
