Buying Used Games at 7-Eleven

7-Eleven is the coolest  gas station chain on the planet. They won that title when they started selling video games a couple of years ago. Now after the whirlwind success of that, they've decided to offer used games as well [via Technabob]:

7-Eleven

The pricing goes from $10 to $20. That sounds crazy. Will a new release be 20 bucks shortly after its release?

I want to hear more on how they plan to deal with this. Because if that is the case, they could put pretty much every game resale shop out of business with low pricing like that. But the other side of the argument is who is willing to sell their new game to a store that marks it $20 at most? That means that the cash return is somewhere around five or less dollars.

From what I read, 7-Eleven is only selling used games. I didn't see anything about them buying them too. I imagine that the company that they're teamed up with generates used games out of thin air. Or they have a factory of people who buy and open up new games to then be sold as used.
