IP addresses are not weed or alcohol.

No tranfer market, means no one can sell out even if they had  redundant
resources as there is no policy that allows it thus rendering the whole
thing illegal....

Secondly there is no big market for IP addresses outside there as some folk
want to make it seem so as to make folks worry that once we run out we wont
run business just because there is no tranfer market.... there are some
work arounds when when get there....

Why invent IPv6 and then champion its adoption.... In anycase stick to the
new model as the old model runs out of supply.
