- APNIC ran out in 2011, but has a new-LIR pool remaining

- RIPE ran out in 2012, but has a new-LIR pool remaining (part of which is that /8 you mentioned)

- LACNIC ran out in 2014, but has a new-LIR pool remaining

- ARIN ran out in 2015, and does not have a new-LIR pool

- AFRINIC is the only RIR with a general-use pool available

As akvadrako says, there's a secondary market, except the current pricing is around 16+USD/IP, with the semi-obvious minimum of a /24 (so, 4000+USD). Given that (in ARIN region) that /24 would have cost you 250USD up-front, it's a marked increase.
