We are doing tunnels to give customers IPs who can’t justify or afford a full /24. Since a /24 is the smallest you can really advertise swipping someone a /25 or smaller that is not directly connected to your network does you no good. A group buy tends to be a very painful process.
ARIN has policies and time limits for transfers and such. I believe you can’t do anything with a block until 30 days after you have it transferred to you. Even then there are restrictions.
