1. B applies for a block of IPv4 addresses from ARIN.
2. ARIN says: "You qualify for a /20. You have been added to the
waiting list. You may also receive a transfer."
3. B finds A offering to sell a /20 on ebay or wherever.
4. A sells a /20 of IPv4 space to B for, say, $5,000
5. A tells ARIN to transfer the chunk to B
6. ARIN tells B: "A has authorized the transfer of x.y.z.0/20 to you.
You previously qualified for a /20. Pay your registration fee at
http://website to complete the transfer."
7. You pay. The /20 is transferred.
It remains to be seen if / how well this works. But that's the basic plan.
