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.

  • Collectibles and preserved squirrels are eligible for trade under the promotion rules.

  • Taxidermy items are eligible for trade, which broadens the types of items that can qualify.

  • DVDs can be traded even though DVD players are excluded, enabling a practical workaround for $5 credit.

  • The promotion rules allow visiting multiple GameStops with one different donated item per store.

  • The promotion can offer only $20 credit plus a 5% coupon when trading "everything," with 99.9% exclusions.

  • Many common electronics like mp3 players and dvd players may already be excluded, making it unclear what is actually worth trading.

  • A managers memo reportedly caps any traded item at a maximum $5 trade-in value and limits trades to one item per person per store.

  • The promotion's exclusions can make it effectively cover mostly items GameStop already accepts normally.

Oh well, what a waste of time: "GameStop employees have the discretion to reject any item."
emphasis on "any item."...Basically it is a big joke.

I don't see anything about excluding "appreciation".
I would like to thank them for some credits.

Is this saying that VR headsets are excluded? If you can't even trade in a VR headset on trade-in everything day then what are you doing?

As funny as this is, honestly, what could we possibly bring them that they would take that would be worth the trouble? mp3 players, dvd players, any electronic junk I'd like to be rid of is already excluded.
