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.

WTH?? Just tell us what we CAN bring.

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.

Gotta love how "trade anything day" excludes basically everything besides the stuff they already take in on a regular day.

The real question is in cities with multiple gamestop could you use different phone numbers to run across stores? If you have a spouse you could get $10 per store meaning it'd be possible to get about $50 in an hour or less

People have done crazier on here with staples recycling so worth asking

The first thing I said when I saw this was how many..."wobby sausages" are they gonna get lmao. Apparently none by the rules but I almost guarantee at least one person will try.

Is there anything worth buying at Gamestop? I'm not into consoles. Don't buy games for pc. What else is there? If employees determine the value of items, i don't think anything will be worth a trip. I have an old like new verizon tablet and like new amazfit watch and galaxy s10 phone
