Because somebody who has not previously owned the game goes into the used game store and buys a used copy of that game. All the profit from that money goes directly to the retailer - the developer doesn't see a penny of it, and loses out on a customer who otherwise
would have put money in their pocket.
So no, I guess there isn't a limit to human greed, it's just that in this case it's the retailer who is getting greedy, and the people who made the game are missing out.
