By not disclosing it to the public on their site, it gives shady GS managers/employees the opportunity to screw over unwitting customers!

Not publishing trade in values gives them an opportunity to screw unwitting customers who walk into a store with a pile of games. The system spits out lot TIV's and the guy who schlepped all his crap down has to decide whether it's worth biting on lowballs or taking it elsewhere. The trip out and time invested have value and induce people to take trades they'd never consider if they could crunch the numbers before going to the store.
