The way I see it, it is worth no more than $10,000. As that is what ARIN is going to charge any corp to get a Class B. Plus some yearly maint fee. BTW, I remember reading about someone else selling a Class B, I thought I heard they got around $30,000 for it. I offered to take it at no cost :)
Let us make sure that we understand one thing about ARIN. A person can't walk in with $10,000 and buy a /16. You will still have to justify your IP space needs the way you do it today. What has changed is that there will be an ongoing maint. fee. --blast %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \ Tim Keanini | "The limits of my language, / / | are the limits of my world." \ \ blast@broder.com | --Ludwig Wittgenstein / \ +================================================/ |Key fingerprint = 7B 68 88 41 A8 74 AB EC F0 37 98 4C 37 F7 40 D6 | / PUB KEY: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-commands.html \ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
