Empirically what you did was sell your old macs with an illegal copy of tiger on them, since you did not sell them with the box or the Tiger install disks. If Apple was Microsoft you've have been nailed already by XP's license checking. Because Apple doesn't do that, you were not caught.
Technically you should either:
1- buy licenses for each copy of Tiger you installed on a computer, and then sold the computer.
2- Inform the buyer of each computer that the Tiger that was installed should be removed and their own legal copy installed.
Sell the 'unused box set' ? Jiminy Cricket is gotta be jumping up and down on your shoulder right now. To shut him up, just mail the box to the person who bought the most expensive Mac from you, or keep it and use it to 'test' OSX on any more used macs that come your way.
