No sweat. The nick is a play on my real name, which is spanish, though I'm portuguese. 
About that, yeah around €10 is a fine markup. And I'm betting I won't see the game for €50, but for €55 or €60 around here. Retailers are very much to blame for this. I mean, I can understand marking up hardware, retailers have a big responsibility towards the consumer there. But software? Not really. Even if one person in 10 where to trade in a game (and they got no compensation from the publisher at all), they'd be out €30 for a €100 profit on average with these prices. And seeing what they do with used games is sickening. Plus we don't even have a real rental market (at least here).
This all hurts the market, IMO. At least I, would play a hell of a lot more games given lower prices, and/or more "ownership" options. I just won't risk €50 on an unknown, not when the trade in value is like €20 (and then resold at €40).
