GameStop, and any used game retailer for that matter, requires a vast inventory of used games to operate. All of those copies were at one point purchased new.
Your argument that a single copy can be resold countless times, while theoretically true, is extremely unlikely in most cases due to the short shelf life of most AAA games. Regardless though of how many times a used game is resold the fact remains that originally that copy was purchased new and the publisher of said title did receive compensation for it. For a pirated copy no compensation will ever be received.
