I don't disagree...
and, as far as i know, they are registering transfers from sale of ip assets.
ARIN maintains the registry according to the policies in the region. These are policies are developed by the community at large, recommended for adoption by the ARIN AC, and ratified by the ARIN Board. All transfer requests which meet the policies get approved and updated in the registry. ARIN does turn down transfer requests which don't meet policy, and this potential is often understood and covered in proposed sale documents for IP address blocks.
