Does legacy space command a premium in this?
From what I understand, and I have not been a party to any transactions, there are differences in transaction where the space looks ³cleaner.² That is, space that has been less delegated, and has never appeared an a spam blacklist. I don¹t know whether that translates to higher prices, or whether buyers just won¹t buy questionable space.
What's the going rate to lease space (say a /20 or /19 for discussion)?
Leases aren¹t worth the trouble, because sellers believe that the only reason for a temporary lease is to originate spam, following which the address space is worthless. So if you can find a lease at all, it is likely to cost as much or more than buying outright. Personally, I wouldn¹t lease space at all, because I wouldn¹t want my organization¹s name anywhere near it when the bad stuff started happening. The ipv4auctions.com site lists prefixes that large; recent /20s have been $7.45-$8.00 per address. Bear in mind that I¹m essentially a researcher, and have no direct experience. You might want to talk to a broker or three. Lee
