Odds are your buddies also have these games already. looking thru your list though, it appears alot of your games are withing a $1 or $2 of Gamestop's prices. Most of the games on your list just aren't desirable and/or are oversaturated on the used market.

If you listed a bulk deal for $50, your games would be gone, and you would have gotten nearly $20 more than the in-store trade in.

Sad as it may be, I happen to like getting used games at Gamestop.  My target price is $9.99 Some games are less that that even, and if the game is one of those "Must haves" I might even pay up to $19.99. 

This is a great thing for me.  I wouldn't have any games at all if it weren't for gamestop.

If someone is done with a title then then I see nothing wrong with them trading it in for a few $$ even if GS sells it for much more.  They are trading market price for the convenience of having a central location to go and sell games at will. No ebay, no Craiglisters showing up at your house, just a couple of bucks or some store credit. It's really convenient.

pfft, the night the PSP launched I traded 30 games in at Blockbuster. I got the trade in value of each game (ie: ninja gaiden brought 20) Then every 3 games got an extra 5 per game. I ended up with near 300 in store credit. :) score!! got that psp :)

I remember the slickdeals thread on the Blockbuster trade in fiasco. I think at one point, people were buying $20 games from Walmart, ripping off the plastic, and trading them in at BB and ending up profiting like $20-$30 for 3 games.
