GameStop Announces Day Where People Can Trade In ‘Anything,’ and Internet Users Already Have Some Bad Ideas

They’re going to regret this immediately.

GameStop recently announced that December 6th will be “Trade Anything Day.” Capitalizing on their beloved history (e.g. giving you $0.16 for your barely-used copy of Breath of the Wild), the chain says that customers will be able to bring in (almost) anything to be traded in exchange for store credit.


Of course, they won’t accept literally “anything.” Their site clarifies that they can’t accept hazardous waste, animals (taxidermy is okay), foreign currency, adult content, or a variety of other objects.


Still, the internet being the internet, many users saw this announcement as a challenge. On X, people are sharing all of the insane things they plan to bring in.


“It does not exclude human beings,” noted one user. “The innocent GameStop employee seeing me trade in a box of 500 squirrels. (It's ok cause they're all taxidermy),” offered another. “Me grabbing all the rocks from the parking lot and getting $9,000 in store credit,” wrote a third.


Naturally, many also stated that they were going to take a dump in a bag and try to trade it in for whatever new Mario game is out — apparently ready to challenge the definition of “hazardous waste.”


What’s GameStop going to do with all of this useless crap? Probably just chuck it in the bin. That said, if you really want to make a minimum wage employee sort through your garbage to get $0.20 off the new Madden, well, your dream can soon become a reality!
