  • If an outside party wishes to purchase a Collectible that has been fractionalised using NFTs they will need to purchase all NFTs connected with such Collectible item. If the said NFTs are not “on sale” a prospective purchaser can make an offer using the OpenSea platform, however it is up to the NFT Collector whether they accept, sell, or transfer the NFTs they own.
