I had left out some of the details from some of my prior posts.  On 
3/17, I wrote

"At the risk of repeating myself, I think 8.3.9 should be deleted in its 
entirety.  All ARIN needs to do in the process is allow 3rd parties to 
transfer IP addresses directly from one party to another without being 
returned to ARIN first.  The numbers must be properly registered to the 
transferor and the transferee must justify the need.  Other than that, 
ARIN should have nothing to do with the dealings of the two parties.  
They can trade money, resort properties or pork futures and it's 
nobody's business what the transaction is."

Since people must justify the need in both cases, I assumed they would 
check with ARIN first before searching the "marketplace" since this in 
theory should save them money.  ARIN might publish a list of what they 
have so people know when to search outside ARIN.

If you are talking about the transferee having to justify to ARIN, per 
the above, I agree with that and just didn't state it clearly in that 
last post. (And if not please let me know which ones you are referring to.)
