[AusNOG] Due diligence when purchasing IPv4 addresses

[Damian Ivereigh]

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.
