You also seem to assume that everyone else does or should value things exactly the same way you do.

That's just not so -- we all come to any transaction with our own perspective on what we want out of it, and what it's worth to us. As has been amply demonstrated by a multitude of comments, there are a lot of folks who simply don't give a fillip about being able to sell a book once they're done with it, and care only slightly more about being able to give it away.

This is not a sign of impaired intelligence, this is simply an indication that different factors are valued differently by different people.
