Very much a different question. I fully agree with Harry on your first question: it's unethical (& probably illegal) to resell CDs/LPs after making and retaining a digital copy.
However, it's not illegal or unethical to buy a second-hand LP or CD. The owner of the object has the implicit license to the content. If the original owner retained a copy, that makes the original owner the copyright infringer, not the purchaser or the item.
