Sell Your IPv4 Addresses at Market Value
Turn your unused IPv4 space into revenue. We connect you with verified buyers worldwide, handle contracts, manage RIR (Regional Internet Registry) transfers, and guarantee payment through secure escrow.
IPv4 addresses can be sold through ipv4.center, a trusted IPv4 broker that connects sellers with a global buyer network. The platform handles the entire process including contract preparation, secure escrow payments, and RIR transfer management. Seller commission is 10% for platform-managed sales, with no upfront fees.
Why Sell IPv4 Addresses Through a Broker
Organizations that no longer need their full IPv4 allocations can unlock significant value on the secondary market. Common reasons include network consolidation, migration to IPv6, or business downsizing.
IPv4 prices in 2026 range from $24 to $28 per IP. A single /24 block (256 IPs) can generate $6,000–$7,000 in revenue. A /20 block (4,096 IPs) can exceed $100,000.
Selling independently exposes you to risks: unverified buyers, failed transfers, and protracted negotiations. A managed broker like ipv4.center eliminates these concerns.
The process is straightforward. List your blocks, get matched with qualified buyers, and receive payment after the transfer is confirmed. The entire process typically completes within 2–4 weeks.

Complete Guide to Selling IPv4 Addresses
Everything you need to know about the IPv4 market, pricing, and how to monetize your unused address space
The decision to sell IPv4 addresses is one that more organizations are making as the IPv4 market price continues to reflect growing global demand. Whether you hold a /24 or a large /16 block, unused IPv4 space represents a significant financial asset. As an IPv4 seller, understanding the current market dynamics is essential to getting the best value for your IP block. At ipv4.center, we help sellers navigate every aspect of the IPv4 transfer process — from initial valuation to final RIR approval.
The IPv4 address value has steadily increased over the past decade as available allocations from Regional Internet Registries have been fully exhausted. Today, selling unused IPv4 addresses is one of the most effective ways to monetize IPv4 assets that are no longer needed for your network operations. Organizations across Europe, North America, and Asia are actively looking to sell IP blocks through trusted brokers who offer transparent pricing and zero hidden fees.
Our platform supports RIPE IPv4 sale, ARIN transfers, and APNIC transfers with dedicated specialists for each registry. The IPv4 broker fee at ipv4.center is clearly defined upfront — 10% for platform-managed sales or 0% for self-managed listings where the buyer covers the commission. There are no surprise charges, and sellers always know exactly what they will receive.
For organizations looking to sell unused IPv4 space, the process begins with a thorough assessment of your address block. We verify IP ownership through RIR records, perform comprehensive blacklist and reputation checks, and confirm BGP routing history. This pre-listing verification ensures that your IPv4 block is attractive to buyers and can command the best IPv4 market price. Blocks with clean reputation and proper documentation consistently sell faster and at higher prices.
The IPv4 transfer process varies by registry but follows a consistent pattern: seller and buyer sign a transfer agreement, the transfer request is submitted to the relevant RIR, and upon approval, the addresses are reassigned. Throughout this process, payment is held securely in escrow. Sellers who choose to sell IPv4 addresses through ipv4.center benefit from our established relationships with all five RIRs, which helps expedite approvals and resolve any issues that may arise during the transfer.
Whether you are an ISP with surplus allocations, an enterprise that has migrated to IPv6, or an organization that inherited legacy address space, ipv4.center provides the expertise and global buyer network to help you sell your IPv4 addresses quickly and securely. Contact our team today for a free, no-obligation valuation of your IPv4 address space.
