As for auctioning IP blocks, my experience is that hackers don't
bother. If they want IP addresses beyond what the colo provider
offers, they steal them: find a block of addresses not routed on the
public Internet and forge LoAs they present to their ISP. They're
going to lose them anyway, so why bother paying money?

ala: 146.20.0.0 ?
