Or rather, you should not do it again.

The RIPE database contains administrative, technical and abuse
contacts. By sending non-operational mail soliciting asset transfers to
tech and abuse contacts, you are at least taking up people's time. It
may or may not be within the letter of the rules, but it is clearly not
appreciated. Sending to the administrative contact is maybe a little
more defensible, but only a little. The admin contact is mainly for
billing and to be able to find out who is ultimately responsible, e.g in
case the other contacts are unresponsive.

It has never been acceptable to send any sort of unsolicited commercial
email (advertising selling *or* buying). Doing this will only encourage
people to avoid you in the future. Once may be chalked up to youthful
ignorance. But please don't do this again, for your own sake.

I guess it's September again...
