Earlier this week, meme stock retailer turned Pok é mon card pawn shop, GameStop, announced a new trade-in stunt engineered to go viral. " Trade Anything Day " will let customers come in and hand over almost anything in exchange for store credit. Employees who weren't told about the promotional stunt in advance are already preparing for the worst. Some are even trying to harness the chaos for a good cause.
GameStop, the video game retail giant, is hosting a "Trade Anything Day" on Saturday, Dec. 6, where people can bring in almost anything to trade in for a store credit. There are a few ground rules, however. For one, the company says the item must fit in a 20-by-20-by-20 box. So, if you were hoping to trade in your retro Sony Trinitron CRT TV from the '90s, you're out of luck (although you may find another customer willing to buy it).
You might have already spent a ton of money building up a modest collection of amiibo, Nintendo's NFC-equipped figures for Switch and Switch 2. But whether you're looking to add extras, or you're just starting out, GameStop has several amiibo figures starting at just $5.99. On Bluesky, Wario64 pointed out the page that contains all of the models selling at up to 70 percent off.
