If there are relatively few people who benefit the sales will also be meaningless. You'll also have a bunch of losses for things that didn't sell well, liability for when something goes wrong, etc etc. The government isn't a business, it should not try to be one.

As long as they aren't putting too much effort into sales, it probably works out to an easy net positive.
