As for auctioning IP blocks, my experience is that hackers don't bother. If they want IP addresses beyond what the colo provider offers, they steal them: find a block of addresses not routed on the public Internet and forge LoAs they present to their ISP. They're going to lose them anyway, so why bother paying money?
