Because you're so trustworthy, I should send you cash, right?  The fact that 
you signed a contract agreeing not to sell the demo products doesn't bother
you at all, apparently ...  One of the reasons the products down at your local
Egghead or Software Etc. cost so much is crap like this: companies give away
(or sell at marginal cost) equipment and software, only to have some bozo turn
around and sell it.  The author/manufacturer loses a possible sale, the store
loses a possible sale, and some crook makes some fast bucks. 
 
Hey, I need a hard disk --- got any that you "just happened to find"?
