What bothers me is trade-ins. If I trade a game for $5 and they put it out for sale for $40, I feel pretty ripped-off. I can understand if it's cash, but for store credit, that's a bit much.

I live in Seattle, WA and have basically given up on the game stores around here. I sometimes find deals in thrift stores, but mostly if it wasn't for Craigslist, I wouldn't have the huge game collection I own. You guys complaining about not having game stores, imagine if you DID and they had all these great rare games, but they wanted 2X to 10X Ebay prices. That's Seattle.
