RE: IPv4 address block

["Tony Wicks" <tony () wicks co nz>]

I have used Eddie at iptrading several times over the yearsfor IP block purchases and never had this sort of issue, so 
would count this as a recommendation.

I might note that one of the qualified facilitators on the list recently "sold" me a block where the original entity 
which obtained it in the 1990s was still announcing it to all of their peers and trantsi after the wire transfer had 
been done, the ARIN process was done/ticket closed, and the block resided with my AS. 

 

Interesting.  If you believe that the qualified facilitator failed in their duty to you (more specifically, if they did 
not live up to an aspect of the code of conduct –  
https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/transfers/facilitators/codeofconduct/) then please drop ARIN a message with the 
specifics to facilitator-support () arin net <mailto:facilitator-support () arin net>  





It took a significant amount of badgering the original block holder (an entity with which we had no pre-existing 
relationship or direct contacts into their engineering department) to get them to withdraw the announcement, which we 
did independently of the broker and quicker than they responded to us. So my message would be to do your own due 
diligence and investigation of IP space and don't trust what the "broker" tells you.

 

Absolutely - always a good idea. 

 

Thanks for feedback!
