I'm not clear on legal or philosophical definitions of ownership. This is Wikipedia's article on the subject of
Fee tail (Entail). Notice that it speaks about not even being able to use the property for security on a loan.
But legal niceties aside, the original point still stands. A property subject to entail was not purchased (was not sold to the ostensible owner suffering under the entail), it was inherited, so the question of being able
re-sell it isn't applicable. Which still leaves us looking for an example of where you can purchase a property and not be entitled to sell it again.
