If I buy a game and beat it, I usually turn around and sell it back to GameStop for credit towards the next game I want.
I used to let them collect. Back in the PS2/Xbox1 era I had SHIT LOADS of games. Then I had to sell them all for financial reasons, but since I waited so long they weren't worth nearly as much as I had hoped. Lesson learned I guess. Now I don't hold onto anything unless I expect to play more of the multiplayer.

I never get rid of them. I'm an avid replayer. Pretty much every game I finish I replay at least once.
Depends on what game it is really. Games like Oblivion, Mass Effect, even good ole' SW: Battlefront I keep around because I enjoy playing them (high replay value, which is generally why I by games in the first place).
Games that have little replay value, or games I genuinely don't like (here's lookin' at you Dragon Age...) go right to the local Game Stop. Perfect example of no replay value, at least to me, Prototype. Just because I didn't get all the 'coins' the first time, is no excuse to go through that ENTIRE DAMN GAME again. Hey, game devs; COINS/TOKENS/PACKAGES/WHATEVER DO NOT EQUAL REPLAY-ABILITY.
But yea, sell bad games, keep the good ones. Hope that answers your question OP!

I keep them and usually borrow them to people who haven't played the game. Sharing is caring and collection FTW.
I do have to admit that i have sold couple games just to get money for a new one

I always keep my games, even if I didn't enjoy them. They are all part of my ever growing collection.
It depends on the game.
Games that convinced me to devote an absurd amount of time to them because it felt like they were building up to something good but never got there like Grandia, I will find some fitting way to destroy them in a glorious fashion.
Games that were terrible and had no value for me I sell to gamestop, I don't care how much they'll give me. It is my way of voting with my dollar, I bought this game, to me it was a blight upon the community, and that isn't an acceptable reason to return it to the store to reverse my purchase, so the only way to do that is to make sure they don't get credit for someone's future purchase to balance the sale. example: Madworld
Games that I enjoyed but don't think will have replay value, I'll hold onto until I find someone who won't buy it due to lack of disposable income and I'll give it to them, I'd rather a friend buy the game to add another sale to a good title, but if they aren't going to I'd rather they get to play it. example: Dragon Age
Games that were good and I think will have replay value I'll keep next to my xbox/pc where it will most likely collect dust, and I'll think when bored Hey I should play that, ooh new colbert! example: Mass Effect, Oblivion, any old version of Civilization
Games that were mediocre to bad, but not TERRIBLE, I'll throw in a box figuring I'll get around to finishing it or playing through it again, and not remember it until I unpack that box after a move or two (I frequently never finish unpacking between moves so it could take awhile). example: Beowulf (got it as a gift)

I've actually replayed a lot of games from the start after a few months, even if I haven't actually beaten them yet. Mostly, though, I just play them for a bit and then forget about them.
