The broker is Brander Group, they are registered with APNIC, they are based in the US (does that count as having legal recourse!).

Would love any feedback on their reputation. They say they have checked the IP's before offering them for sale.

I understand that we will have geolocation issues with Foxtel for months (years?), but we had that with our newly minted IP allocation from APNIC. So that's par for the course.

Top considerations:

1. Is your broker reputable? Just go on and name them here so people can help. 2. Is your broker's company registered in a place you have legal recourse if things go wrong? 3. Are they registered with APNIC? https://www.apnic.net/manage-ip/manage-resources/transfer-resources/transfer-facilitators/ 4. Have the blocks you're being transferred been blacklisted? Easy to check.

Purchases from RIPE should be pretty smooth. Don't do something silly like try to lease addresses from LANIC or AFRINIC entities and expect your upstreams here to route them for you.

    Hey all,

    I realise this is in the realm of opinion and scaremongering, but we
    have been offered some IPv4 (3 x /22) from a telco company in
    Bulgaria
    (i.e. RIPE) via a broker. I have APNIC approval etc.

    I have not done this before and they are of course keen to push the
    sale, wondering what due diligence I can do - I have been told the
    ranges. Or should I run a mile?
