Community Reviews
GameStop's trade-anything promotion is framed as a quirky way to unload odd items, including collectibles and even taxidermy, but the practical value looks very limited. The posted rules and memo point to a $5 maximum trade value per item, a limit of one item per store, and the option to hit multiple stores with different donated items. Exclusions appear broad, with VR headsets, DVD players, and much of the usual electronic clutter left out, while actual DVDs still qualify. It reads more like a donation drive with small store credit than a broad trade-in event.
Common Questions (4)
Collectibles and taxidermy items are allowed, including preserved squirrels. DVD players are excluded, but actual DVDs are not, so the promotion still accepts some media items that are not the player hardware.
The promotion is capped at $5 trade-in value per item, and one memo says the store credit is $5. A reported 20% bonus coupon may also be issued, with mentions that it can stack with Pro and preorder trade bonuses.
VR headsets are questioned as possibly excluded, and the promotion is described as excluding most items people would normally want to trade. The practical effect is that many common electronics are already off the table.
Yes. The rules are described as one item per store, so you can visit multiple GameStops with a different donated item at each location, and the same ID does not prevent stacking cards across nearby stores.

A lot of managers are asking for canned goods, no joke, or items that can be donated to a homeless shelter. According to the Managers memo, ALL items will be donated from every store. The max Trade in value for ANY item will be $5 and a limit of 1 item per person per store. So even if your item is worth a million dollars, you will only be offered $5 max and limit of 1 trade in.
