Hmm:

1) I don't believe that the european directive covers the sale of  
second-hand goods. Ergo, the sale is not illegal.

2) "Street" cigarettes[1] versus legitimate cigarettes sold in the  
shops in the UK? Illegal cigarettes are significantly cheaper than  
their legal counterparts.

3) Parallel imports (although the legality is still being tested in  
many jurisdictions). The whole raison d'etre for parallel imports is  
that goods can be bought abroad, shipped in and still sold more  
cheaply than directly imported goods.
