Yes, if you receive address space through a transfer the RIPE policy will not let you re-sell it within 24 months. When you have a temporary transfer the contract you have with the original holder will probably prohibit any re-selling at all. But again: giving back the addresses to the original holder is not a separate transfer, it's part of the original transfer, so the 24 month restriction doesn't even apply to giving back the address space. It's only about a potential *new* transfer.
