GameStop’s “Trade Anything Day” expands the parameters of the store’s usual trade-in policy to include a range of items, including taxidermy.
WASHINGTON — For an entire day, customers can trade “anything” in at GameStop for store credit.
The single-day promotion kicks off on Saturday, Dec. 6 and allows customers to trade mostly anything for some money toward merch, video games, consoles and more. It’s GameStop’s first time running a promotion like this.
GameStop typically allows customers to trade in gaming products for store credit. The “Trade Anything Day” expands the parameters of the trade-in policy to include a range of items, including taxidermy.
According to the gaming store, customers can trade one item per store in exchange for a $5 credit. The items must fit a 20x20x20 measuring box, and employees have discretion to reject any items.
“If the item fits in our 20” x 20” x 20” Trade Anything box, isn’t on our exceptions list, and is “Trade Anything Day” worthy, we’ll give you $5 trade credit for it!,” GameStop said on a newly updated frequently asked questions section of its website.
How much store credit can I get?
Customers who bring in a qualifying item will receive a $5 trade card that can be used in-store during the promotion or later.
If customers bring in items that the gaming store typically accepts for trade, it says it will process them as normal.
