Their used game prices are generally $2-$15 cheaper than the new version of the title, depending on the age of the game. Gamestop also wants you to purchase their discount card so that you can save an extra 10% on their used merchandise. You can probably find what you need on eBay, and save yourself some time, money, and aggravation.

The reason is that people are willing a save a couple bucks if they can. Another reason is that a business is always out to make a profit. If they cannot sell the game at that price then they are able to mark the price down, so they will not lose any money for what they bought it for.

Cause they ran all the smaller mom & pop video game shops out of business. Now the price trends are set buy Gamestop (which btw now ownes EB Games). i prefer to buy and sell my games on E-bay. Works out better for both the buyer and seller.

It really depends on the age and popularity of the title. They have a number of titles that are in the $3-10.00 range. Of course if it's less than a year old, then you are right, it will probably only be about $2.00 less than new.
It's a business after all.

As long as people are willing to pay their high prices, they will be around.
