Buying an item, and then selling it later, is not effectively renting. It's buying an item and then selling it later. The fact that they had the option not to sell and could choose to exercise it doesn't disappear when they do choose to sell it.

In this specific case I think it's completely wrong to say that people who sell back physical copies are effectively renters.

As a kid, buying and selling games was the only way I could play most games.

Used to make good money on Prodigy. Then my dad switched us to AOL. It was too competitive for me; I went back to waiting for birthdays and Christmas.
