That’s why i think there shouldn’t exist any IPv4 Transfer market. This should be disallowed by RIPE.
If you don’t allow selling IPv4 and charge more for them, LIRs with a big percentage of unused IPv4 Allocations will start to return them and only keep what they really need to maintain their services until they fully migrate to IPv6.

not the allocations they want.

No, the won't they'd get more money by selling them on the open market, than
they would be reducing their RIPE fees. RIPE could never justifiably charge
more than the IPs were worth on the open market, so no one will ever return
them to RIPE.
