Nobody wants to drop a scarce resource like ipv4, even if they don't use it. They'd rather sell it and i believe this is the normal human behavior. I believe we should focus on making all ripe members ipv6 ready (100%) and any discounts/costs should be based on ipv6 implementation rather than ipv4.

Maybe 1k Euro is nothing to many members, but it is something important the end-users that recently had to become a RIPE NCC member, to just receive an small block of /22.
No, they *chose* to join RIPE as an LIR, because it was cheaper than buying the IPs they need on the open market. And you're now asking for it to be even cheaper.
Can anyone from RIPE NCC tell me how many members are holding just an /22?
The data is published, I can't be bothered to write a script to figure it out, but it wouldn't be hard.
