My bad, I should have said RIPE could "licence" or "mark as registered" the /22 address block not "sell". There is a recurring fee for PI space which I would assume would apply in this case, and the company obtaining the /22 would also have to find a sponsor LIR for their assignment. But again, I'm not necessarily advocating this, just pointing out that having a growing number of "fake" members, especially ones who do not share in any way with the ideals and goals of RIPE, could be bad for RIPE as an organisation in the long term.
