Can i sell my digital copy of a game?
Digital games can't be stuffed into a bag and hauled down to Main Street. They are lumps of code that are owned and controlled by the publishers of the games, and their retail partners. The code cannot be sold on, at least, not legally, without the publisher's permission.
