""If you buy a Switch 2, you can trade it for more than you paid for it,""
""our system briefly valued the pre-owned trade more than the new retail cost of the console itself, creating a narrow window where customers could repeat this transaction over and over again to amass infinite trade credit.""
""Trade promotions have been updated to ensure customers can no longer convert basic arithmetic into an endless revenue stream, and balance has been restored.""
A YouTuber identified a pre-owned trade promotion that allowed customers to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 and trade it back with a pre-owned game purchase for roughly $50 more in trade credit. The YouTuber repeated the process across several stores over two days and netted about $150. GameStop confirmed the system briefly valued pre-owned trades higher than the new retail cost, creating a narrow window for repeated transactions. GameStop patched the glitch, updated trade promotions to prevent converting arithmetic into revenue, and warned stores are not designed to act as infinite money printers.
