It recently came to my attention that HSBI can be directly transferred from one user to another (this is done manually by @josephsavage who runs the HSBI program). I transacted on agreed terms with @geneeverett to make this happen - for the price of 1575 $HIVE, I received a total of 3300 HSBI spread across 2 accounts (I will be posting about this second account later this week!). The cost was slightly under 0.5 HIVE per HSBI Unit, which is a very good deal.
For those interested to see how this all worked out, here is a link to our conversation.. I'll also include an alternate link for a different frontend.
I just added information about this transfer to my recent updated write-up about HSBI. For those who don't know much about HSBI, I think this write-up is an approachable guide to understanding the program. The program's founder also wrote up some comments and answered questions in the comment section. He's very approachable!
