Was your luggage searched when arriving in Mexico?

Any dealings with the police in Mexico is always risky. As a foreigner you have no rights, no leverage, no nothing, except you appear to them as a walking ATM. I spent about a year in Mexico and while nothing terrible happened I had some close calls that made me realize how precarious things can be there when it comes to the police. And the more police that are involved, the more expensive it gets. The vast majority of tourists are utterly clueless.

Just legalities. Is it legal or not for a foreigner to sell a personal possession while in Mexico. Simple question. Remember, I'm not talking about many items. I'm talking about the occasional item. Just like we would do in Canada. We get rid of things from time to time.
