I don't think ARIN (or any other RIR) wants people to think this way. Appreciation and value are words that most folks at ICANN don't want network engineers to associate with IP addresses. "The real value is in routing"; is the party line. STLS to me is kind of double speak, ARIN says: "this isn't a capital resource", but yet if you go through us and list your 'unused' blocks in this space, we don't care what financial transaction happens behind the scenes. Maybe John can shed more light on this. For some background, go over to the Internet-history mailing list, which included a very lively discussion of "ownership interest" in IP addresses.

So would it be more logical for all those willing to return do so only after depletion when the impact and resulting appreciation is likely to be greater? Plus, those less altruistic could weigh the options better after real value is associated with the scarce resource.
