There's an option that I forgot to mention:

You can still use an RIR and get a last /22 in the RIPE region provided you
follow their rules, and no, you do not have to be in Europe.

Read carefully:

Makes sense. In that case, I think only way out is to go through a broker
to find a suitable party for a transfer. I would read the rules and
regulations regarding transfer of ARIN blocks, they have some details and
the process requires some paperwork.

I’m aware of the /24 block for facilitation concept, but my client’s use
case can qualify as an end-user rather than as an ISP, thus their annual
operating cost is smaller than even the X-SMALL ISP category, which
they’d
land in — if they opted for the smaller /36 initial IPv6 direct
allocation,
rather than the default /32 direct allocation.

That seems to balance toward buying an existing /24.

If you apply for an IPv6 block, as an ISP, and you have the intention of
truly utilizing it, then you can apply for a /24 to facilitate that
transition.

It will cost you about $1500 or so, which is about half of what a /24 is
going for in the transfer market.

Thing is, if you take the IPv6 block just to use the /24 they give you,
then one could argue you are cheating the system.

I’m looking to buy a /24 of space for a new multi-homed network in the
ARIN region.  Can anyone out there speak to going rates for a /24 and
best
places to shop?
