If /8's are considered an item to buy and sell both ICANN and the RIRs have failed doing what they are supposed to do.
Leasing used to be the operative word....now "licensing" is used to confuse people and allow the lawyers to handle it... http://lacnic.net/en/transition.html "On 2 September 2002, customers in the emerging LACNIC region will begin to receive invoices from LACNIC. Monies will be payable in US dollars. All monies collected by LACNIC will be transferred to ARIN. ARIN in turn will return a portion of those monies to LACNIC to help sustain LACNIC operations. Upon final recognition, the transfer of monies will cease. The target date for the cessation of money transfer is 18 November 2002."
