I cant believe some you don't see a problem with gamestop and other retailers (not individuals) selling used games for $50 and $55 the 2nd day of their release. I suppose it's consumers fault for selling the game for $20 to said retailer.

I personally buy all my games new, don't sell them, and don't like Gamestop (for opening "new" games more than anything else).  However, other consumers and I still have the right to be able to buy and sell used games.  Business that facilitate the buying and selling of used property have the right to exist, and publishers and developers have no rights to the profits of those businesses.

Ebay offers that facility as well as allow me to name my own price and hence increase my margin for recoup. Also I don't agree with giving developers money for used games my problem is the Gamestop's gouging. I agree they have the right to exist but consider the movie business if I'm not mistaken that doesn't happen with DVD's there is some time frame before the movise become officially available.
