If only there was a place where you could sell games online and get most of your money back.

You're speaking a foreign language. I have no idea what any of that is. My son tells me about Bakugan and Beyblade stuff and I just nod my head and say things like "Wow", "The pretty cool", or "Lets go get some ice cream".

In an unrelated, yet related story. When I picked up my copy of 2k12, the guy working there was off moving shit around, the girl behind the counter was about to get my copy. He said, "hey man, we're out of Jordan covers, you want Magic or Larry Bird?" I said "Larry Bird." She said
"Which one is Larry Bird?" 
I apparently had this fucked up WTF? look on my face cause the dude turned around and looked at me and just died laughing. I said "Seriously, I don't even know what to say to that..........(she is standing there with this embarrassed look on her face)..........He's the white guy."

Now i'm glad i'm not the only one.

Nintendo games in general are like apple products... they don't depreciate very quickly... I mean, isn't pokemon black still running 34.99 a year later?

I used to work there.
Yes, it is based on resale demand. That is why nintendo games and stuff like mario kart and other mario related items get more in trade and sell for more used.
And the prices come down from corporate office. The stores have no control over it.
