According to <a href="http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070527/NEWS/705270333&SearchID=73282547763001">an article in The Ledger</a>, the "mom and pop shops" that sell video games have to rely heavily on second-hand sales in order to keep up with their chain-store competitors. By focusing on the used games side of the business, retailers can control the pricing of their inventory, whereas with new games, the price is fixed and a retailer may only make $10 or less for one title. With the used games, buying low and selling high has allowed a lot of these stores to stay open. 				<a href="http://kotaku.com/264364/the-used-video-game-industry" title="Click here to read more about The Used Video Game Industry">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
