That makes sense. It would also make sense to have auctions for high-value handles. Or, to take a page from 'Radical Markets', twitter accounts could be associated with a reservation price (a price at which a person would definitely sell), and 'taxed' (re: charged) a proportion of that reservation price. I believe it was Patio11 who observed that his upper limit on willingness to pay for twitter would be very high. Right now, Twitter doesn't capture any of that. That might only work for bluecheck accounts, not sure. I don't want to lose my random 10 follower account for $100, but neither do I want to pay to be a lurker
