I am sure Ford and GM would love to control how their used cars get sold, get some profit from the trading and selling of used cars, but the idea that any profit should return to Ford after they initially sell a car is ridiculous. Same goes for the video game industry.
Interesting point though - at least in the UK, most of the big names (Ford, Vauxhall, VW) do set up large used car networks, and essentially do exactly that, managing to take a cut on the resale of their own products. So why not an 'EA nearly new' brand, with guarantees on the used media etc in much the same way?
