I've been trying to think through examples of unofficial markets for things
that are not allowed. Most of them seem to have higher prices than you would
see in a regulated, official market. Can you explain why you think people
would be willing to charge a lower price for something that was not allowed,
rather than charging a premium?

>>I have similar question in mind, why people will pay a premium for 
addresses while they can get it from RIR through allocation process?


You seem to have ignored the NIR's and the RIR's role in this. Do you not
have confidence in NIR's and RIR's abilities to correctly evaluate requests
that have been inflated?
