GameStop's been on a roll with bizarre trade-ins as of late. After announcing "Trade Anything Day," an idea that sounds more like a sketch comedy bit than a real thing, it has awarded a record-setting payout of over $30,000 to a customer who handed in a "fully authenticated PSA 10 Holo Gengar." It's also really excited to use this moment in "GameStop history" to denounce its greatest enemy: digital distribution the trolls.
This all comes from a post on X where GameStop announced the historic trade, which it calls "the most valuable single trade-in ever recorded" at any GameStop location. It goes on to say "Furthermore, any trolls who publicly claim that GameStop trade-in values are bad are hereby factually and demonstrably incorrect. Any prior and ongoing objections to our trade values are now deemed without merit and factually invalid."
