and it also depends if the game just came out and it's used then that's different, then it might be 30-40 bucks but not more that that for "used" games

business practises   a  company buys a game  for  20 and sells it for  40  if they sel it for  20 they barley break even they need to  get their  revenue somewhere

games that  have a high   price tag to start with are  expensive used  as well  since the  secodn hand dealers know the value

other  reasons why  secodn hand games are expensive is because they are populair
