When you open a store you have lease, utilities, any possible employees, up keep of shop.
Usually when a store sells used merchandise they would make sure to pay less than an item is worth so when they sell that item for actual value, they're still making a profit. I'm not sure why these stores aren't doing that, I would have thought if a game was selling on ebay for $50 that they'd pay around $20-$30 cash or trade in credit so they could sell it for $50 and make a profit. They would be selling multiple items per day so the profit would add up to enough to cover expenses. Apparently you're saying that stores will pay $50 for a $50 game and be forced to sell it for $100 to cover expenses. Maybe I just don't know how businesses work because that doesn't make sense to me. Unless they're paying $20 for a $50 game and pricing it at $100 anyway so it won't sell, which just seems stupid and greedy.
