Do you know about the GameStop Trade Anything Day? Check this out

Yes, GameStop does trade-ins every day! However, today, December 6th only, they’re turning things up with Trade Anything Day, and they really do mean almost anything.

Unlike standard trade-ins (where phones, tablets, consoles, and games can earn various cash amounts), this event is for a flat $5 store credit only. This means you can be creative in what you “trade in” as long as it meets the necessary criteria and doesn’t fall into the excluded items to get a $5 credit towards your next purchase.

There are just a couple of rules: each person can bring one item, and whatever you trade has to fit inside a 20″ x 20″ x 20″ box.

Hazardous waste
Items containing lithium-ion batteries
Weapons/ ammo
Animals
Computers (excluding some MacBooks)
Printers
Digital picture frames
A/V equipment (VCRs, DVD players, DVRs, cable or satellite receivers)
Gift cards
Explicit items
Anything resembling body parts
