I thought that, as long as you aren't keeping a copy, you could sell the original media. In fact, I thought there was usually language that made that explicit. Abandonware is essentially distributing multiple copies, whereas selling the original discs to somebody else doesn't involve making any copies. I don't think the original seller of a physical item is legally entitled to revenue when that item changes hands- otherwise Goodwill stores are in big trouble...
