Call Blizzard customer service. Tell them you are the original account owner,
and provide proof of the fact, usually in the form of the account key, and the
original billing information that the account was first set up with. Then
tell them that you lost your password, or pretend you were hacked and the
account was stolen, or tell them your non-existent little brother changed the
password, etc. Blizzard will reset the password and mail it to the original
owner.
Blizzard takes the position that accounts cannot be legally transferred to a
new owner, so there's not much point in the "new" owner protesting to them.
The most Blizzard will do, if you somehow find a way to prove they actually
sold it to you, is disable the account for breaking the Terms of Service, so
that neither party can access it.

"We need a new Mario game, where you rescue the princess in the first ten
minutes, and for the rest of the game you try and push down that sick feeling
in your stomach that she's "damaged goods"... When Peach asks you, in the
quiet of her mushroom castle bedroom "do you still love me?" you pretend to be
asleep. You press the A button rhythmically, to control your breath, keep it
even." - Joey Comeau on increased realism in gaming.
