Why should books have good resale value? You don't resell a movie ticket after going to the cinema, you don't resell your vacation. Not everything has to have a monetary value.

Because a book can be read again, provide virtually the same value to the next person. If you try to resell a movie ticket or vacation it won't work, because ticket is access to a one time experience.
