As an end user, you can get an IPv6 /48 and still qualify for the /24 of transitional space as well.
did ARIN hold back some blocks to service the 'transitional space', or would that be going to the STLS list? --jim

I???m aware of the /24 block for facilitation concept, but my client???s use case can qualify as an end-user rather than as an ISP, thus their annual operating cost is smaller than even the X-SMALL ISP category, which they???d land in ??? if they opted for the smaller /36 initial IPv6 direct allocation, rather than the default /32 direct allocation.
That seems to balance toward buying an existing /24.

If you apply for an IPv6 block, as an ISP, and you have the intention of truly utilizing it, then you can apply for a /24 to facilitate that transition.
It will cost you about $1500 or so, which is about half of what a /24 is going for in the transfer market.
Thing is, if you take the IPv6 block just to use the /24 they give you, then one could argue you are cheating the system.
