Soon you’ll be able to walk into a GameStop to trade in, well, nearly anything. For one day only in December the company will accept almost any piece of junk you try to give it.

This “Trade Anything Day” stunt will take place on December 6. Yes, there are certain exclusions on what you can walk in and plunk down on the counter in exchange for store credit. But the company claims it’s open to giving you store credit for some unexpected items.
It’s a common-enough joke on the internet that GameStop’s trade-in values for even the latest games are pretty abysmal. But the advertisement for the “Trade Anything Day” features everything from a mug, to a taxidermied squirrel, to a lonely leather boot. “Bring Whatever, Get Store Credit” the ad reads, with “No Questions Asked” written at the bottom, modified to say “Some Questions Asked.*”

That asterisk indicates the long, surprisingly specific list of things GameStop doesn’t want you bringing in, including:
Hazardous waste or material, chemicals, liquids. Lithium ion batteries or items containing lithium ion batteries. Weapons and ammo. Dead or alive animals (Taxidermy items are valid for trade). Alcohol, Tobacco, drugs or pharmaceuticals (legal or not). Computers (such as desktops, laptops, notebooks, all-in-ones, minis, workstations, e-readers, tablets, thin clients, smart displays, virtual reality headsets with built-in processor, interactive flat panel displays with built-in processor) excluding certain MacBooks GameStop normally accepts in trade. Computer peripherals intended for use with a computer and weighing less than 100 pounds (monitors, keyboards/keypads, mice/pointing devices, external hard drives (excluding those normally accepted in trade), facsimile machines, document scanners, printers, 3D printers, label printers, digital picture frames. Small electronic equipment (portable digital music players, VCRs, DVD players, DVRs, digital converter boxes, cable or satellite receivers, projectors including those with DVD player capability). Small scale servers. Televisions. Gift cards and other currency (foreign or domestic). Jewelry. Sexual and explicit items. Items resembling body parts. Items MUST fit in our 20x20x20 measuring box. Terms and conditions of promotion are subject to change. GameStop employees have the discretion to reject any item.
Some of these exclusions make sense. You probably shouldn’t be bringing in expired prescription drugs. And while it might be understandable to not take VCRs and DVD players, not being able to trade electronic devices such as tablets, VR headsets with onboard processors (which would include the Oculus family of headsets) is a bit of a surprise.

I’ll have to see what weird things I have laying around to test out this policy to the fullest extent. Shame I don’t have all those wall-mounted deer heads anymore. I might have been able to put it toward $10 off GTA VI.
