I know people who receive perks at work (everything from event tickets to merchandise) the monetary values range from $10 to hundreds of dollars, and they turn around and sell the gifts for profit. Do you think this is unethical?

I'm not comfortable doing that.

A gift is meant to benefit the person who recieved it. If selling it benefits them best then they got the best out of that gift thus appreciating it. They're happy, that's all the ethical in it u need

This depends I personally don't do this. One time I got an exact duplicate of something I allready had and just gave it to another friend. If they want to sell it that is thier choice. We don't know thier situation, so we shouldn't judge them by their actions.

Sure, why not? If you don't like the item...after a few years that crap starts to pile up and you start running out of room to store it all. I take all my unwanted items to a consignment shop or to goodwill. Works for me.

When someone receives a gift it belongs to them. They can do whatever they want to with it. I hope this helps.

only if you try to sell it to the donor. Then it is bad taste.
