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

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.

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!
