How Much Can I Sell My Pre-Owned Games For At Game Stop?

It completely depends on the console the game is for, the initial price of the game, and the release date.
Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 games will net you more money than other consoles, such as PS2 and Nintendo.
The initial price is the cost of the game when it was first released. Obviously a game that cost $59.99 when it was released will be worth more than one that's $39.99.
Finally, the release date of the game is important. A game two tears old will no doubtedly recieve less money than another game released a month ago.

To give you an example:
Rainbow Six Vegas for 360 got me around 5 dollars. Where as Rainbow Six Vegas 2 would have gotten me around 15.

Most games are going to be under the 10 dollar range, unless they were released very recently (within a couple months). In addition, the dollars you get for your games turn into Gamestop store credit. If you want cash, they will give you around 20-30% less for their value of the game. Try to avoid selling your games, because do you really need the $2.50 for Guitar Hero 3?

If you do feel the need to sell off your games, at least wait until they give bonus trade in credit. For instance, during the month of November: turn in 3 games, get a bonus $10.00; turn in 4 games, get a bonus $20.00. If you can catch it at times like these.. its the only time its worth it.
