I don't know. When I asked about posting his email to the NZNOG list he said "I’m fine with you posting this to the NZNOG mailing list, and feel free to use the message I’ve provided below (or your own version) as nothing within that message is confidential." So I thought the name would be out there somewhere already... Gerard On 9/02/2012 4:40 p.m., bmanning(a)vacation.karoshi.com wrote:

can't speak to the APNIC region. In the ARIN region, asset transfers have occured, but always couched in terms of "right to use" and not that one could sell the integers. Could you share what range is on offer?

Hi all,

I have heard some discussion in the recentpast (year or two) about the potential for IPv4 number space being sold off as it becomes less freely available. The following appears to be a real offer, and I checked with David and he seems to be a real person and was OK for me to post this to the list, so here it is.

I've not seen this before, but possibly that's because I'm less well travelled than others on the list. Is this becoming common place? And what's the 'street price' of an IP address at present?

Discuss.

Or call him :^)

Greetings,

My name is David Kuehl and I work for a technology-focused investment bank that is currently engaged to sell a large block of legacy Class A IPv4 addresses. Given that the global pool of IPv4 addresses is rapidly depleting, I was wondering if any NZNOG members are currently in need of additional addresses and interested in participating in this sale process. If so, please feel free to pass along my contact information to any members that would be interested in receiving additional information regarding this opportunity.

Thank you in advance for your assistance,

*David Kuehl*
