GameStop Helps Fund Your Summertime Fun
May 22 2017 - 12:48PM
What do the iPhone 7, GameStop and Costa Rica have in common? If
you trade-in an iPhone 7 today, GameStop will give you up to $355 –
enough to help purchase a round-trip flight for one to Costa
Rica.*
GameStop, a global family of specialty retail brands that makes
the most popular technologies affordable and simple, knows that the
summer vacation season is just around the corner and families may
be looking for ways to earn some extra money to help fund their
summer vacation fun. To help with this effort, GameStop is inviting
families to trade-in their used or unused, new or pre-owned, and
working or non-working consumer electronics or video game hardware
to receive top dollars for their items.
“Summer is a great time to make a profit off all your
electronics and gaming hardware clutter so you can earn quick
cash to spend toward summertime fun,” said John Tovar, vice
president of Pre-Owned Merchandising for GameStop. “Trading in
electronics like iPhones and iPads, as well as gaming hardware can
add up to Costa Rican or Vegas vacations, concert or amusement park
tickets and even gas to go on a summer road trip. Whatever your
vacation plans are, GameStop can help you fund your summertime
fun.”
GameStop’s trade-in program accepts thousands of items,
including a wide range of video games and systems, mobile phones,
tablets and electronics accessories. GameStop also accepts damaged
or broken items, even if they don’t work anymore.

“We’re not just talking pocket change,” Tovar continued.
“GameStop’s trade-in program pays top dollar for many items. For
example, our average trade value across all iPhone versions is $126
and goes all the way up to nearly $400 for newer models.”
If customers don’t have a specific goal in mind on their trade
dollars – like a vacation – they can always use their funds to get
the newest game console like the Nintendo Switch that can be used
to play games both at home during a “stay-cation” or on the go.
Also, now through May 28th, GameStop is offering customers an extra
50% bonus in either cash or in-store credit for any pre-owned
consumer electronic item they trade in.

electronics, video game hardware and software, consumers may
