Looking to sell your IPv4 addresses?
If you have IPv4 you no longer need, selling turns it into cash in one transaction. We help you reach buyers, vet the deal, and get the transfer finished without dragging it out.
When selling makes sense
Selling IPv4 means transferring ownership of your block to a buyer through the RIR. You get a one-time payout and the buyer gets full control. It is usually the right move when the space is no longer strategic and you would rather realize the value now than manage it for years.

Why sell instead of leasing out?
One-time payout
Selling gives you cash now. You are not managing contracts, renewals, or lessee issues after the transfer.
Unused space is dead capital
If the block is sitting idle, selling turns it into cash instead of leaving value parked in the registry.
Buyer demand already exists
Listing on our marketplace puts the block in front of buyers who are already looking, instead of forcing you to hunt for them one by one.
We handle the process
We help with matching, paperwork, due diligence, and the transfer path so the sale does not stall on avoidable issues.

Sell process for sellers
Use case 01
Confirm ownership
Make sure the block is registered correctly and there are no policy or documentation issues that would block a transfer.
Use case 02
Valuation
Price it against current demand for the region and prefix size instead of guessing from stale market numbers.
Use case 03
List on marketplace
We put the block in front of active buyers and help move serious conversations forward.
Use case 04
Due diligence
We review records, documentation, and block history before the deal gets deep into paperwork.
Use case 05
Agreement and LOA
We coordinate the sale agreement and LOA so the transfer package is ready to go.
Use case 06
RIR transfer
Once the RIR approves the transfer, ownership moves to the buyer and payment is released under the agreed terms.
Before listing, make sure the ownership records are clean and the block does not carry avoidable reputation baggage. Good documentation and a clear transfer path make the sale move much faster.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to sell IPv4?
Most sales land somewhere between two and six weeks, but the real timeline depends on the RIR and how quickly both sides provide documents. Clean paperwork always helps.
How do I get the best price for my IPv4 block?
Clean history, clear ownership records, and realistic pricing matter more than hype. Listing on our marketplace helps because active buyers can actually find the block.
Should I sell or lease out my IPv4?
Sell if you want a one-time payout and do not expect to need the block again. Lease it out if you want recurring income and prefer to keep ownership. For that path, see monetize IPv4 by leasing out.
Can I sell part of my block?
Sometimes yes, but it depends on the RIR rules and how the block is currently registered. If you are considering a split, we can tell you early whether it is realistic.
Where can I list my IPv4 for sale?
On our marketplace. If the block is a fit for current buyer demand, we will help position it and move it through the transfer process.
