I agree. Wonder if Motorola could pay eBay not to sell the phone. Seems extreme but I see where they're coming from. Plus Chinese ripoffs will make it even more vunerable to softening the price/appeal.
Not if they draft it properly. Motorola just needs to make it a right of first refusal to repurchase at the original price with a reasonable liquidated damages clause.

That would violate the first sale doctrine, so it's not enforceable.

Well, I'm just wondering if Motorola will have enough money to buy back these phones at a fair price...
I agree with First Sale Doctrine violation!
