Sorry to nitpick, but actually you can't buy IP addresses. But you can buy the service to have some static IP addresses assigned to you. There were some policy changes for RIPE's LIRs (Local Internet Registry, mostly your ISP) to allow some trading between them when the IPv4 exhaustion started. I assume it's the same for the other RIRs, like ARIN and APNIC.
The point is that your IP address is part of your ISP's allocation. When you change your ISP you'll get a new IP address. But you can get your own allocation (by becoming a member of a RIR) or PI address space (Provider Independent address assingment) which will stay with you independently from any ISP. It's all about routing ;)
