GameStop is running running one of their semi-regular console trade in promos through Saturday May 11. Stacks with extra 10% trade credit for Pro members.
Note that the trade values on their website do not reflect the extra promo credit.
Some examples:
Nintendo Switch Lite console with a base trade value of $75 ($82.50 for Pros) would net $100 of trade credit ($107.50 for Pros)
Playstation 5 disc console with a base trade value of $300 ($330 for Pros) would net $350 of trade credit ($380 for Pros)
Xbox Series S digital console with a base trade value of $175 ($192.50 for Pros) would net $200 of trade credit ($217.50 for Pros)

Are you saying I could buy a used PS5 Pro for$175 and get trade-in credit at GameStop for $405? If so, does that credit ever expire?

There's one on FB Marketplace near me for $175 right now (disc version). If everything is in good working order and I give it a cursory clean, would I get a full price trade-in for it? I'm new to this, so I'm not really sure how GS trade-ins work.
Seems like a good way to buy a used one, and then buy a new one for cheap. Assuming I buy a PS5 Slim (disc) for $175 + $25 (Pro Membership) I'm out $200. Trade in for $330 store credit, nets $130. Buy a new PS5 Slim digital) for $390. The total cost of PS5 Digital Slim, accounting for all debits and credits, would be ~$260 (~$307 for PS5 Slim disc). That seems like a pretty good deal if I'm doing my math right. Feel like double checking my math? And thank you for all your responses thus far.
