[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Because just like the guides stores are told to destroy, they're supposed to somehow provide proof that the merchandise was destroyed and not resold or given away or whatever.[/QUOTE]
I was just about to type in moneystop.com...
Anyways, ah, always follow the money trail. However, guides are new and the publisher gets some profit while their used games market is different. However, as mentioned before, its probably marked as a loss on their taxes, which is probably based off of the number they bought it for, so I can see how they could get more from a tax break than selling it off at 75%
