Neither can I, but that may not mean much. Perhaps someone else can
validate that they're reputable and can execute a transaction end to end?
If you need IPv4 addresses for your network:
1. Make sure you have an IPV6 allocation from your favorite RIR and are
using it
2. Apply for and receive a last /22 from RIPE. EVERYONE can do this.
3. Contact a reputable broker.
The ones I have experience with (Alphabetical):
A. Peter Thimmesch at Addrex http://www.addrex.net
B. Amy Cooper at Hilco Streambank http://www.ipv4auctions.com/
C. Mike Burns at http://www.IPTrading.com
ARIN also publishes a list (which is not a requirement to be able to
transact or support transfers):

Network operators have many choices for answering their IP numbering needs
these days. Including IPv6.
Sorry to be a broken record on this topic, but it seems to come up a lot.
And if you search the archives I'll suspect you'll find something similar
to this a few time now.
An educated network operator is the best kind. That's why we are here.
YMMV and Best,
