Uh, really sorry to break up the debate, but I think I remember in the Serenity novelization that Mal did manage to sell the Lassitor, and he did buy the new hover-mule with the cash, but he didn't sell it to Mr. Universe. They knew Mr. Universe through Wash, who had come out of flight school second in his class. He found out the computer hacker had changed the grades just so he could call himself a pilot. Wash blackmailed him, and has been calling him up whenever he or the crew need insider information.

The book also explains where Mr. Universe got all that fancy equipment, and his own planet. The Alliance was busy terraforming the planet a while back, and Mr. Universe made their computers tell them that the terraformng machines were failing and they had to evacuate. They ran away, he moved in.
