The issue though is that they have the new games, they just dont want to sell them to you if they are below their targets.  They would rather them stay in the drawer.

I never buy used games for more than a certain price. I ain't scared to walk out of the store if a price doesn't suit my liking.

That's them playing with the porduct pricing to maximize their profit. Nothing wrong with that.

another quote from the article:

"We also tell customers we don’t have copies of new games in stock when they are on sale—for example, Watch Dogs 2 is currently $29.99 new and $54.99 pre-owned. We just tell them we don’t have the new one in stock and shuffle them out the door.”"

That's actually illegal. Can't advertise something you don't intend to sell.
