Besides standing at the water cooler at 1:23PM on 12/3 telling AS123 jokes I'm not sure a particular AS number has any relevance or any monetary value unless there is scarcity. 2011/11/17 Kevin Loch <kloch () kl net>

That was before ARIN started recycling unused short ASN's two years ago. There was a three month period in 2009 where almost every ASN assigned by ARIN was < 10000 as they burned through the backlog. - Kevin
