Gamestop is a pretty good example of a working market. They sell used games for the highest price that he market allows, which is EXACTLY what they should be doing. Compare the price of last year's sports game to last years AAA epic RPG. the market says the sports game has lost a lot more value than that RPG and the pricing reflects it.

Even for relatively new-to-market games that are only discounted $5, I often purchased the used copy because of their return policy on used games: if I don't like it, I can return it for a full refund; no questions asked.

All of you Gamestop haters are just shooting yourselves in the foot. Gamestop is one of the few barriers left keeping publishers even slightly honest. You think the recent DRM and DLC abuses are bad? Just wait until all content, even on consoles, is only available for download and not at retail. Publishers will control the stream from end to end and there will be celebrations like you've never seen in the EA/Ubisoft boardrooms.
