Gaming retailer GameStop has customers covered if they’re in need to trade in items additional to the usual games/consoles and accessories.
Announced last month ahead of Thanksgiving, Trade Anything Day is finally arriving this weekend on Saturday December 6. While you can continue to bring in your usual gaming trade-in items, GameStop for one day is accepting any donatable items for in-store credit.
However, don’t just run back into your house and get a hold of items like a half-eaten pizza or your cat’s litter box though, as limitations do apply. A number of items will not be acceptable for Trade Anything Day… so it is really Trade Almost Anything Day. Items that are excluded for this promotion include (but not limited to):
- Weapons and ammo
- Broken games
- Animals – living or dead
- Unburied cartridges of the E.T Atari game
- Dirty clothes such as underwear, pants, and t-shirts
- DVRs
- Expired drivers license
- The Mayan Calendar
- Bandicoots
- Food (contact a GameStop store to see if they will accept canned food)
Check the GameStop website here for more exclusions.
Customers will be limited to one Trade-Anything item each (you can still trade stacks of regular trade-in items just the same) for $5 in-store credit and must be at least 18 years old to participate. The special trade-in item must also fit in a 20″x20″x20″ box. As long as you don’t go overboard with the special trade-in item, things should go swimmingly at your local GameStop. If anything, Trade Anything Day may be a good opportunity to visit GameStop if you haven’t shopped there in a while.
