Hey, you can rag on the trade in prices all you want.
It's not going to change anything.
Sure we may give .05 cents to some poor shmucks Madden 2004. Then we sell it for 1.99. OMGWTF!#@#@!# WHAT A HUGE MARKUP. Do you realize how many people want to BUY Madden 2004? Nobody. The same goes for a LOT of titles. Nobody wants your crappy copy of NHL Hitz 2002. Or that stupid Socom II you decided to finally get rid of. When someone trades something in, we take the risk of it not selling, ever.
When you purchase a game, we give you the ability to get your money back even if YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE IT.
Can you do that if you buy a game from your friends? Or from an online trading site?
Clearly almost none of you trade stuff in there anymore, so why bother complaining about something you don't use anyway.
