4 digit ASN?

While checking the current price for IPv4, I noticed that also 4 and 5 digit ASNs are being auctioned. As there were actual bids and closed sales, some for a significant amount of money, I came to wonder about the inherent value in a two byte ASN.

I would have thought that by now almost everybody supports 4 byte ASNs. Is there some actual value in having a 2 byte ASN or is it more a vanity thing?
