Any games I've had that have died typically died in the first month. Not sure i've had any games die a year later.

Happened to me once after buying melee for GameCube. And the resell value would also be lower since I havnt seen a used copy that had hardly any scratches.

The reason I use amazon tho (apart from not dealing with that) is because with prime membership, you get 20% off of pre-orders and new games which released less than 2 weeks ago. So my new game price essentially beats their used game price. Amazon does have a yearly fee but since I use amazon for many other things including their prime video, its easy for me to justify it. My student discount of 50% off yearly prime is still going so...

If your used copy goes bad outside of the First month, odds are it's your own fault.
