   It is not clear that reselling a Mac bought with a student discount is
   illegal.

   Usually when you buy property it is yours. You may do what you want with it,
   including sell it.

The agreement I signed when I bought my Mac didn't prevent me from
reselling it.  All it said was that if I decided to sell it within the
next 2 or 3 years (can't remember which) I had to make a reasonable
effort to sell it to someone who also qualified for the educational
discount.  After making a reasonable effort, I was free to do anything
I wanted with it.  Since this is pretty vague, I imagine that it is
pretty unenforcable except when someone pays me $200 to get them a Mac
and I turn it over to them within a month of receiving it.  I don't
see how someone could claim they made a reasonable effort in that
case.
