Since OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is registered to your name and account, it would be best to do a clean install with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and use that Restore stick you got and let the buyer buy OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion him/herself.
To create a Clean Install (formerly known as Erase & Install) of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (the 29 USD Upgrade DVD is a fully working retail version of Mac OS X and does not need a prior installation of Mac OS X on the Mac), follow one of the following guides:
- Short version: Clean Install of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
- Long version: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install
You can, but it would be your license, and as far as I know, it is not transferable, but I can be wrong.
