Addressing doesn't have latent worth right now because as an LIR with a justifiable need, I can beg resources from a hostmaster, at no (or a small marginal - if billing score is implicated) direct cost.
What is justifiable to the requester may not be justifiable to RIPE- NCC (or other RIRs). The IPv4 black market exists because of this difference of viewpoint.
I therefore can't trade any of these address resources because others can do the same. This means that today the addresses have no value.
You are asserting the black market doesn't exist. An interesting approach. Regards, -drc
