I guess technically it would
be possible to "buy" any existing the N- number. Some time ago, I read that Nike bought "N1KE" from its then-current owner. No Spam

Also realize that certain combinations aren't valid. A friend thought N0PE would be a neat number and nobody had it registered. When he tried to get it, he found out why. You can't have a zero following the N.

Yep...and the then-owner was famed aviation author Peter Lert. IIRC, he had a glider and the trailer for it looked a lot like a Nike rocket. So he requested and got the N1KE registration. Years later, the sport-shoe people wanted to register their company aircraft and found Peter's name. He won't say how much they paid him for it, but he DOES say he hasn't had to buy a pair of shoes since... Ron Wanttaja
