Deal Details
Gamestop is running a promo right now where you can trade in your used joycons and receive $29.90 per joycon in GS Trade Credit.

The breakdown is below:
Joycon - $23
Promo Bonus - $4.60
PowerUp Card - $2.30

If you have a beat up pair and want to get a new pair, it wouldn't be a bad idea to trade in and for about $25 get a brand new pair.

On a separate note, I also got ~$190 for a used Xbox Series S since I purchased a new one from Verizon Wireless a few weeks back.

Left joy cons look to have a $20 base trade in value, where the right ones have a $23 base trade in value.

Do they still trade if the cons have drift issues?

Yes, I know the website says that but in-store value was higher to my surprise.

They didn't really check mine, but you can also just send them back into Nintendo to get them serviced for free.

Did you turn in the little slider thing with the strap as well? I'm considering this but I need to find the straps.

i asked them that. a female employee told me if i'm just trading in one, then the slide is not needed.

but if i'm trading in a pair, they would need it for both joy cons.

your best option is to trade in one at different locations, if you don't have the straps.

Can anyone else confirm this? I called today to ask how much I would get and wasn't told about any promos.

I did the exact same thing. I told the sales rep I should get $192.50 and he laughed and said that's ungodly high.....

then 60 seconds later he was ringing up my trade in for $192.50.
