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.

Omg there's a lot of people at the store!
Whatever you bring in for trade doesn't matter, it's going in the dumpster out back.

Then I can use the $5 in trade credit and $5 cash for a $10 PSN card for a month of Playstation Plus to play over Christmas and New Year's.
FYI: They're supposedly giving you a 20% bonus coupon with this promotion, which should stack with the 20% more towards a preorder trade bonus AND the 10% more for being a pro member. So I may go right back in and trade a few things I've been waiting to get rid of.
