After you've finished a game, do you typically get rid of it/sell it/donate it/give it to a friend or do you enshrine your games in wall of boxes collecting dust to be perused with a sense of accomplishment?
I generally keep it. I never know when I will get back into it or get the itch to play it again.
Also, if I complete the game on an easier difficulty, I will try the harder ones later when I get a chance. FOr instance, I jsut finished the originial Modern Warfare on Veteran. I am currently deciding wether or not to try Kingdoms of Amalur on Hard. I may not do it for another year or two so there is no point in me getting rid of it.
It depends on the game. Some have sentimental value, such as Colony Wars(even though I dont own a PS1) or PSO for the dreamcast. Others that I keep would be games released at the end of a consoles life like Record of Lodoss war. Some games are rare and worth keeping, like Lunar or BGDA2. Some games I keep just because I would be embarressed to trade them in.

Most games will get traded in, even if they are only worth a couple bucks.
In the past, I have held onto stuff, but then ultimately get rid of it.
I am still selective. I have a lot of "unfinished" games, but have been better about getting rid of things I am never going to play again, mostly sent off to Amazon for credit.
Mostly hold on to them - sometimes I'll trade in some I don't like but generally I'm too lazy for that and live far away from any place that takes trades etc. Some I would never trade or give away though (Demons Souls, Dark Souls, Uncharted games etc.) because I love them :D and I think they have replay value.

Yea I'm the same. Single player franchises that I love like God of War and Metal Gear I will never trade in. Story driven rpg's as well. Multiplayer or sports games get traded in everytime. Really just depends how much I connect with a series.
If I am going to re-sell a new game, I do it within a month. If it is one I am going to keep then into my collection it goes. Best to sell a game that's two years or less. Older than that, you won't get much at gamestop; but may on Ebay. Sometimes, I can't get into a game that has just come out and I wait 'till I get 'round to it. Ex just finished Witcher 2, great action RPG and do not regret paying pre-order price. Will hang on to that title and play the next installment.
Sometimes wish we had a place to list our games for sale here. or a library for loan. (dunno why my text changed). :)

Most of my games get traded in to get newer games .... One set of games I would love to keep or have again is Shadow Hearts ...
I never trade in games. I think I have about 650 now for various platforms.

[MOD EDIT]
I keep them Xbox/PC games even the crappy ones to remind me how crap that game was
I generally keep them. If they are especially awful, they get introduced to something destructive like a firearm or microwave.
If I can pawn them off on others, sometimes I take that route.
