Video Game Retailers - Pre-Owned Games = Profit

So, there when I was organizing pick up of my 360, the guy at the store was pumping me for info in the games I already owned. He was trying to get me to bring down some of my titles by saying that once you play them they just sit there.. why not make a little cash back. Connect that with the fact that Pre-Owned games are now given as much retail presence as new games and you can work out the business model. They aint makin a whole lot off the new games - so they act as almost a loss leader to get people in the store which is now adopting more an ebay model. A place for pre-loved video game equipment but with dope mark ups... buy for $10 sell $29.95.
