I agree that big chains like Gamestop selling hundreds of used games is bad for developers (not nearly as bad as piracy, but still bad). However, selling a game you don't want anymore to someone who wants the game (ie. without chains like Gamestop as middleman) is completely justified, as you'll get some of your money back which can be used to purchase new games. When pirating, there is no money involved to spend on new games at all.

In the end, games worth keeping are the best selling games for a reason: they won't be traded in as much. I have never ever seen used copies of Super Smash Bros, Halo or Mario Kart at my local game shops, because they seldomly get traded in.
