You usually purchase a few thousand at a time...

You also have to have a reason...like you are starting an ISP, you have a
big buisness...then they expect you to have a highend connection.  They
won't listen unless you have a POP anyway.

You request for the IPs, they request the money.  :)

Most ISPs are actually selling another ISPs service, so thats where they
would get the free IPs.
