The fact that a rule is stupid or even that it costs the company sales
when it is adhered to is irrelevant. If the company promulgates a rule
and makes it a part of the implied contract between you and they, you
are bound to abide by it or be in breach of contract.
Now, this particular breach may be small beer, but it's a breach
nonetheless. You can certainly choose to be in breech as long as you are
prepared to accept the consequences. One of those being that I consider
it wrong, morally, to be in deliberate breach. Whether that matters to
you matters not to me.
Specifically...

Not at all. That household chose to buy it. Unless the terms are "no
resale ever" they can then sell to you at whatever price they choose
including what they paid, more, or less, and not be in breach.

Correct, agreed.

Correct, agreed.

Incorrect. Not cheating unless the offer terms say no resale.

I do say so. Unless the terms say no resale.
