Hi Dana, That is a little weird, indeed. In theory that organisation has lost all resources according to RIPE SLA, if no action has been taken before the copmany was stricken from the business registry. But try to "dig deeper" and see if the company indeed ceased it's existence or not. With respect to any Ipv4 transaction. My suggestion is to use escrow.com - the biggest escrow service provider in the world as far as I know, and one of the cheapest - and specify in the conditions of the transaction "purchase of IP blocks xxx.xxx.xxx.0/xx from company x to company y. The transaction is considered completed once this transfer appears at https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/resource-transfers-and-mergers/transfer-statistics/within-ripe-ncc-service-region/ipv4-transfer-statistics ". And of course, besides the escrow.com transaction, have a direct purchase agreement with the seller.

I read with interest your thoughts related to the issues related businesses juggling IPv4 blocks around. And am of the view that if it can be sold then it isn't needed and should go back into the RIR 'pool' for other growing LIRs that need to connect their owned or customer systems. Anyway. An update about this, and a further question about what to expect from a broker. After choosing a broker from the list on RIPE's site we set up escrow, and being told by the broker of their due-diligence checks (they said they would verify the prefix was not routed anywhere, not in any blacklist, is verified to be "owned" by the seller, and that there were no "liens or encumbrances" (the brokers words)). All good so far. The broker's answer to my request for the results of their due-diligence wasn't particularly thorough or specific. So before transmitting the funds to escrow I thought I'd check the local country business registry for the seller organisation, which showed the company to have be ceased from trading about two years ago. So we are at the beginning again. Is it reasonable or unreasonable to expect that any broker would have spotted that earlier?

Simply responding with “time better spent rolling out v6” isn't an answer, the community is looking for a half way house, an interim solution to ease the woes of v4 policy. I don’t think any one is saying we shouldn’t deploy v6 nor that they want to continue and use v4 despite the looming depletion.
