Alas, NRPM 8.3 requires that "the recipient must demonstrate the need for up to a 24-month supply of IP address resources _under current ARIN policies_ ..." which requires that transfer recipients be able demonstrate need per current IPv4 allocation or allocation policies. If you could not qualify for any IPv4 assignment or allocation from ARIN, then you are not a valid recipient. This language (or very similar) has been in the 8.3 transfer policy since inception in 2009 <https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2009_1.html> and effectively links transfers to same needs-determination language as used for assignments (only allowing for a much larger block to be transferred at 24-months than the ISP 3-month allocation size.)
