[AusNOG] More IP's for sale (/19 and /20's)

[Joseph Goldman]

Previous sales I have gotten ridiculous offers such as $2-5 per IP, 
which is where my second comment comes from.

People are more than welcome to bid lower then the perceived market 
rate, however there is a line of genuine offer and silly bidding. At the 
end of the day I take the best offer that has been presented to me.
