I think the reason for this is as follows: Lulu doesn't consider itself
to be a printing site. It is a publisher and so takes royalties for
books published through it. Obviously, if they are taking a cut they
don't want people re-selling their products and keeping all the profit
of that second sale for themselves (20% of the total profit).
I must admit, this seems a little strange as Lulu don't seem to do
anything for their commision, such as publicise the book anywhere except
within the "community" section of the Lulu site.

You can resell printed copies "notwithstanding the foregoing" , i.e. you
cannot make a profit doing so.
