Gamestop & used games

Gamestop, what is up with this? I see you sell used games at a "discount" which is really nice but, what is the point of it when the used game is $29 and the new is $30? You don't see any other industry that does this. Do you see used cars just a few dollars below the invoice for an identical new one? Nope.

Yes, some of the games are $2-$5 cheaper, but when I see several used games that are $1 less than a new one, then I'm buying the new one. $1 is worth not having a game that was over-played by someone else, breathed on, handled, and so on. I can go to a pawn shop and probably get the same used game in the same condition for 1/2 the price (and I should!).

Come on guys, change your policy. Don't insult our intelligence be claiming "discounts" on used games that don't have the box, manual, or anything else, just a game, when the new version is only a dollar or two more.
