Under many licenses no, you did not. Resale was certainly in the realm of things that license agreements could and often did prohibit. I was probably too blanket in my statement earlier, it was certainly not ubiquitous, but in many cases physically selling the CD did not transfer the license and the purchaser would have been in violation of the terms by using it.

Many means a significant percentage of the total. That makes your statement false. License transfer restrictions were only in the realm of million dollar corporate sales. All physical game floppies and cds could were legally resold.
Used game stores legally existed.

Yes because they were licensed resellers.

Resale certificates are for tax savings, not legality. Anyone could and did sell their games.
