Depends what size block is being traded. Prices for /16 and larger have been flat since 2021.One thing is for sure: the cost for any size block has not dropped back to 2013 levels.Consider also that providers are starting to pass the charges onto their customers, like $DAYJOB-1 (an NSP) and now

Well all that shows is that your ISP is obstructionist. If they can can enter a PTR record or delegate the reverse range to you for your IPv4 server they can do it for your IPv6 addresses. In most cases it is actually easier as address space is assigned on nibble boundaries (/48, /52, /56,

excuse top posting - I don't see a case for shifting 240/4 into public IP space if it is just going to sustain the rentier sinecures of the existing IPv4 incumbencies. In other words if RIRs don't use it boost new entrants it will just add another knot to the stranglehold we are in vis IPv4. I
