As an end user, you can get an IPv6 /48 and still qualify for the /24 of transitional space as well.

did ARIN hold back some blocks to service the 'transitional space', or would
that be going to the STLS list?

I???m aware of the /24 block for facilitation concept, but my client???s use case can qualify as an end-user 
rather than as an ISP, thus their annual operating cost is smaller than even the X-SMALL ISP category, which 
they???d land in ??? if they opted for the smaller /36 initial IPv6 direct allocation, rather than the default /32 
direct allocation.

That seems to balance toward buying an existing /24.

If you apply for an IPv6 block, as an ISP, and you have the intention of truly utilizing it, then you can apply 
for a /24 to facilitate that transition.

It will cost you about $1500 or so, which is about half of what a /24 is going for in the transfer market.

Thing is, if you take the IPv6 block just to use the /24 they give you, then one could argue you are cheating the 
system.

I???m looking to buy a /24 of space for a new multi-homed network in the ARIN region.  Can anyone out there speak 
to going rates for a /24 and best places to shop?
