"Full Perm" are items that give you permission to modify, copy and transfer an item.  Those not intended for resale are items that creators sell each other to aid in creating items that are eventually sold, such as a texture artist selling textures to a clothing designer or builder.  .  That doesn't mean you can do anything you want to them.  Sometimes the creator gives you a license with specific restrictions.  Examples: you may use them for creating other content but can not give that content away full perm, or you may not give or sell the item full perm to another avatar as full perm, you may not use the item outside of Second Life, etc.

Sometime Full Perm items may also be resold.  However here again, it may come with a license that has other restrictions as discussed above.

"Reseller or Resale" items are intended to be sold to other residents by someone other than the creator.  The reseller generally gets a commission on the sale or is charged a wholesale price which is a bit less than what the item sells for normally.  These items may or may not be full perm.  If they are not full perm, then generally you cannot modify them and you are required to sell the item as either copy or transfer or at a specific price point.  Some resale items come in a vendor and you do not actually get the items.  In these cases, the vendor is networked to a server that dispenses the item directly to the customer when the vendor is paid.  If the vendor contains the actual items, they are generally no copy and there are a limited number of them in the vendor.  When you run low on them, you go to a special resellers store and buy more to reload into the vendor.  Resellers can earn money this way, however they are responsible for obtaining a store and paying any costs such as rent on the store as well as any other overhead such as the cost of ads.  There is generally also an agreement called a Franchise or Resellers Agreement that you must agree to in order to do this.  These agreements specify all sorts of things, such as where you can sell, what prices you can charge, what use you can  make of the creators logo etc.

Before purchasing either full perm or resell items be sure to find out all the details of what the license or agreement says and make sure you are willing to abide by the terms.  If you don't the creator may take RL action against you in a RL court of law for copyright infringement which may result in fines or jail time, depending on the offense and law in effect.  LL may also be notified and any items that are in violation of the agreement can be removed from your inventory and your customer's inventories by LL.
