[ale] Can a class-b space be sold? How much?

[Michael Still]

The short answer is yes addresses can be sold, but the long answer is
no.  Addresses are assigned to entities and those entities are what
are involved in the transaction, the IP space just goes along with
them.  You just need to have your company bought by someone else.
Remember that no individual companies "own" their IP space except that
"legacy" space is subject to different rules, which you may be a part
of (not sure really).

There is a policy proposal in place to help make the process easier.
See https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2010_6.html

Personally, I would keep using the public class B for my own needs, as
I use public space for everything and avoid rfc1918 like the plague.
