I tried to sell a five digit id in college on ebay when I really needed some cash, and they terminated the auction on me. It was over $200 in mid-00's money. I'm not still bitter.
Gosh, I wonder if I could find mine through old backups. I'm too lazy to discover the answer to this question. I just thought it was an interesting possibility.
