GameStop is celebrating the holiday season by inviting customers to trade in just about anything in exchange for store credit on Dec. 6. According to Newsweek, the electronic retail company’s “Trade Anything Day” will allow shoppers to trade in certain goods to buy video games, gaming consoles and accessories, collectibles, and gaming merchandise. Here’s everything to know about GameStop’s upcoming “Trade Anything Day.”

What items will GameStop accept and deny on ‘Trade Anything Day’

GameStop will accept most physical items on Dec. 6 at its roughly 2,150 stores across the U.S. However, the electronics retailer noted all items must fit into a 20x20x20-inch box, and its staff will have the power to refuse any item based on company guidelines.

It’s unclear how GameStop will determine in-store credit values on items brought in on “Trade Anything Day,” but what is clear is the items the electronics retailer will not be accepting. Here’s a list of what to leave at home:

  • Hazardous waste or material, chemicals, or liquids 
  • Lithium-ion batteries or items containing lithium-ion batteries
  • Weapons or ammunition
  • Dead or live animals (although taxidermy items are allowed)
  • Alcohol, tobacco, drugs or pharmaceutical items 
  • Computers, except those that GameStop usually accepts
  • Computer accessories that weigh less than 100 pounds, such as monitors, keyboards, keypads, mice, pointing devices and external hard drives (excluding those that are normally accepted by GameStop)
  • Small, outdated electronic equipment such as portable digital music players, VCRs and DVD players
  • Small-scale servers
  • Televisions
  • Gift cards and foreign or domestic currency
  • Jewelry
  • Sexual and explicit items
  • Items resembling body parts

GameStop and the White House exchanged AI-generated memes of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance

GameStop’s ‘Trade Anything Day’ comes after the electronic retailer and the White House shared AI-generated memes of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

According to Forbes, the electronic retailer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, in October to announce that the “console wars” had come to an end after Microsoft shared plans to release the Xbox game “Halo” on Sony’s PlayStation 5.

The White House responded to GameStop’s announcement by sharing it alongside what appeared to be an AI-generated image of Trump saluting the American flag outside the White House in the Halo protagonist Master Chief’s armor.

“Power to the Players,” The White House wrote with the image, referencing GameStop’s official slogan.

GameStop then shared its own AI-generated image of Trump and Vance in the Halo universe.
