An interesting wrinkle in the debate would be the rights of the manufacturer. One could argue they sold to him in good faith that he would redistribute, through a legitimate business, the goods.

Not disagreeing with you exactly, but when you discussed the rights of the business-owner vs consumer it occurred to me that there might be a 3rd party who has specific expectations of the deal. More importantly, these expectations may be built into a contracted sale.

Manufacturers have the right to set retail prices and can refuse to sell to a vendor who does not comply.

Your third party beneficiary theory is interesting, but doesn't fly because there is no vested right enuring to the entire public.
