There's a antagonism towards resale amongst content producers that makes this difficult and the resale prices low.

Whatever the resale price is, if you buy and sell used then you shouldn’t care, right?

I think the problem is the likelihood of not being able to resell what you bought (because it was pirated in the first place) is high, the likelihood of getting bad feedback is high, the likelihood of getting your reseller account canceled is high, and the likelihood of the item taking forever to resell is high.... all adding up to “a small chance of recouping your cost with a reasonable level of frustration.”
