Jon, standard Wii Games are 50 dollars, and PS3/Xbox360 games are usually 60 dollars 

I can vouch for Steve.

Lets say you buy a game at EB games for 50 bucks. EBgames might make 2 or 3 dollars off that purchase. But if you trade that game in, you'll maybe get 15 dollars store credit. They will take that same game and sell it used for 30 dollars. Once they sell it off, then they will get 15 dollars profit. On top of that 3 dollars they initially made, they will make 17 or 18 dollars per game once it enters the secondary market.

I myself am a used game buyer. I will usually wait until a game is < 20 dollars before I get anything. There are rare exceptions. Ikaruga, for example, I think i paid like 30 bucks for it used because that game is impossible to find. I think the last full price game i bought was maybe Super mario strikers for 50 dollars. Everything else has been under 20 bucks.
