I think the biggest difference between Dawdle and Gamestop is that people do more buying at Gamestop. I can't really see a functional difference. Even the quick math doesn't add up given the two charts. 1:1 New:Used, vs 3:2 New:Used. Maybe I'm missing something important.
Whether or not the company selling used games makes money off of it or pushes it is very small I would think. If someone wants a used game, they'll get a used game. In fact, at Dawdle, since the example shows games as selling for cheaper, I can see that maybe it would allow people to save a little more money for new games... or it would allow people to just buy more games.

What am I missing that makes this different?
