This was (indirectly) on HN yesterday... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14150854

I'm seeing numbers between $10-$20 per IP, but this is also probably a bulk sale so there might be a discount... Say +/- $250 million?

Perfect time to sell them off as the IPv4 shortage tightens and IPv6 hasn't reached critical mass yet.

I was thinking the opposite - isn't the block (or a sub-block) worth more in bulk than its constituent addresses?

In the same way that a complete collection of N Foobars has more value to a Foobar collector than N times the average value of a collectable Foobar.

Is there any way that I could buy an IP from the MIT address block? As a memento.
