Disregarding whether it may be against race rules or not, selling your race bib number for more than you paid for it (i.e. official price):

The one race I do that specifically allows reselling of bibs (it's the one my icon's from!) also specifically requires it to be at the official price. (They say that if they discover you've sold your bib number for more, they'll bar you for life, but I have no idea if this has ever happened.) There is also a $15 fee for the transfer, paid to the race organization.

In Denmark so far I've always seen people reselling bibs at reduced prices - sometimes even giving them away for someone else to get to run. And then this guy tried to sell his for a profit, and it pissed me off. And frankly I was surprised no-one else called him on it, but it's a male-heavy forum, and maybe it's a good ol'e boys club thing. I didn't want some newbie to buy his bib at such a high price, thinking it'd only get more expensive closer to the race, so I commented to let newbies know they'd be able to get tickets at half the price in a couple months' time. Yup, I feel pretty good about ruining his chance of profit in that forum.
