Mostly I keep them because I could want to play them again at a later date, but I traded in some games at Gamestop because I knew that I wouldn't play them again, and they actually gave me a decent price for them. That's the only time I've traded in some games.
I used to trade in games like crazy to gamestop but then i figured out how much i was getting ripped off. Now, i'm just gonna start making a collection or sell the games i really dont like to some neighbor kid.
I rarely get games that I don't like because I usually pay very close attention to it if I'm going to buy it and look at different videos, reviews and whatever else to ensure that it will be worth my money. On the odd occasion I don't like it, I usually try and sell it outside of GameStop (EB up where I live but both owned by GS) but it usually doesn't happen so I'll either keep it and on a VERY rare occasion, trade it in.
I keep them because i get kind of nostalgic with them. Even though i probably wont play them ever again i like to keep my saved games and know they are there. If they have more than one save slot i lend/trade it to a friend for a while.
My mom used to make me sell all my previous consoles and games whenever i wanted to get a new system. For example: she made sell my NES, for the SNES, then the SNES, for the N64. I miss all my old consoles and games ... they were in PERFECT state, with boxes and manuals. Ugghh, After I got my PS2 i swore to NEVER sell any game or system again.

I haven't sold any yet, cuz i don't HATE any of my games that much... I dislike certain aspects of some games, for sure, but I hate parting with them because I know I'll want to play it sometime later. For example, I had a craving for Nintendogs today and was extremely happy that I had my old copy of 'Daschunds and Friends' lying around. I keep them for cravings like that. xD
I sell them back to Gamestop and I don't get bad money for them. It's fine with me, at least I'm getting money back (I don't have eBay or anyone that wants to buy them).
I only sell games that I regret buying and I don't play. Some games I don't play but I don't hate them so I keep them to have a nice lookign collection. For example, I friggin' hate Mario Kart so I sold it to buy a Wii points card.

I agree, I am quite cautious with my purchases. I've learned my lesson in the past, the hard way. Buying games that turn out terrible burn me up because I have money and it is wasted on a game that should have never seen the light of day. I tend to buy games with relatively high ratings, but on certain occasions I'll stoop to 8s/10 level.
Remember kiddies don't throw your money down the drain. :D
I sold a few of the games I had not long ago to a neighbor... I feel so empty inside now. :P I think I won't be selling anymore of my games just for the purpose of having a huge collection and well, you never know when you might have an urge to play that game again.
