IP adresses cannot be sold, it's public domain.

What's beeing sold is a service to ensure uniqueness and a well
maintained registry. One-time fees won't cover that.

Whenever we decide to put a facial value onto adress blocks, we'd get in
a slipery slope leading to the demise of innovation and competitive
telecom market (re-read the taxi licence analogy). And it sure won't
help to deploy IPv6 anyway, because incumbents will then be urged to
slow its deployment in order to preserve their (now valued) advantage.

Best regards,
