Doesn't make sense. Promos are designed to promote the game. If even 20 percent of the people who are your customers don't like being excluded from the promotion and become less inclined to buy your product, what is being promoted. Will the other 80 percent buy more product just because of the promo? I don't believe so.
Selling promos to people that have already bought your game is going to do very little to promote said game and drive further sales.
A better way is to entice new people in to buying your game by giving away said promos, ideally when they purchase your game, or win competitions, or whatever, at certain shows, or events.
I believe part of your statement is totally wrong and was crafted just to fit this argument. How many people play in tournament-like special events without already knowing how to play and more than likely having their own copy of the game? That's a minority for sure.
