<p>They don't reuse market IDs. For example, SaturnCoin (SAT) has been deleted and replaced with SAT2.

<p>Cryptsy has a lot of markets. Each market has its own ID. Now markets have an ID in the range [1,220]. Sometimes old markets are deleted. Are the IDs of that markets reused or not?</p>

<p>I have the same question for Bittrex and MintPal</p>
