Re: Buying IPs with poor reputation

Let's say normal IPs are $35, those blocked IPs may be $32, and you'll need much work to delist from all database.

Subject: Buying IPs with poor reputation

I'm curious if anyone has experience deliberately buying blacklisted blocks, or blocks that otherwise have poor 
reputation. Is there a significant price difference? How do you seek them out? Most of the sellers I've found seem to 
focus on blocks with good reputation, or on improving the reputation of a bad block. But I am interested in purchasing 
some IPs for internal services where reputation doesn't really matter.

Thanks,
Ross
