    There's proctored private resale of IPv4.

    A lot of orgs (mine included) are sitting on large chunks of IPs they don't need (we have a /16 and several /24s) because they adopted early, got an ASN and prefix assigned by ARIN, and their addressing scheme is now so disjointed and scattered that they can't sell off anything bigger than a /22, and that makes setting up BGP a pain. Juice ain't worth the squeeze.
