> find a buyer

this buyer would rather buy off GOG than you, unless you give a significant discount (and even then, the trust is hard to establish).

Therefore, even if you might have a legal right to re-sell (which you really don't unfortunately), the actual sale won't happen.

That's not relevant to the issue of "ownership"

Same for disks. That the second hand market is cheaper is expected and a feature and a major reason why game publishers do everything they can so it doesn't exist.
