GameStop offering cash for consoles (values as of 4/8: PS5 $325, XSX $300, XSS $175), 10% more if you are Pro ($25/year)

Called a bunch of gamestops in my area and none of them are taking the Series X because they got too many in stock.
Anyone know of places in the bay area?

All consoles qualify for this deal, it's just that PS5/XSX are more noteworthy for much you can get
Switch OLED is $175, $135 for the current model, $110 for the old model
Holding onto my Series X. Game sharing is the only reason anymore. I'd have to buy two copies of multiplayer games on PC instead of just the one on Series X for my brother and I to both play.
I bought my extra Series S for $150 through a verizon rewards program, to be a travel machine and emulation station to go with my Series X. Now that I have a steam deck for travel and emulation I don't really need it. I could actually make a profit...
This is more tempting than it should be. I just increasingly have little need for modern consoles. Would actually jump on this if the PS5/Series X weren't the de facto best way to play backwards compatible games, cause that's basically all I've got them for.
Eating just a $75 loss on my PS5 DE 3.5 years on is tempting given how little I've used it over the past couple of years and change - never mind the only announced exclusive I'm interested in is DS2, which doesn't drop until sometime in 2025 and will almost certainly have a PC version sooner rather than later.
On the off chance they somehow manage to sell me on a Pro via 60fps GTA6 or some other announcement, I'd already have a leg up.
Argh but Bloodborne, though!

Feel bad for the one employee each store has that probably has to turn a lot of people away because I imagine these stores don't carry that much cash for a bunch of these trade ins.
$122 cash this week if it's in good condition
Sorry, I meant what it tends to go for elsewhere. Considering a move to the OLED model.
Forgive me for doing the absurd thing of using the link in the original post and searching for "Steam Deck" in a GameStop trade in value website that ostensibly shows trade in values for consoles.
Not sure where you're getting the notion that I'm trading in a broken console tbh, but more power to you.
I currently don't have the energy to deal with people/private sales.
Might be a good time to offload my extra Series X, Series S, Switch and Steam Deck. I also never touch my mint OG PS5 with dark plates and 2TB extra storage.

Just came back from Gamestop. Traded in my PS5 Digital launch edition for 300. They didn't have cash so I got a Visa debit and I just used the ATM to withdraw most of it. Now I'm left with 7 dollars in that card. I'll just use it for a tank of gas I guess?
My bad, that's clearly a website error that I didn't notice. If you look at the lower GB sizes they are worth more on there. The reason why I assumed you looked up a broken one is because that's what that price is for. There's three states you can choose when trading in a Steam Deck, "Working", "Damaged", "Dead". The $10 price it's displaying on what you looked at is the price for Dead. No idea why it's showing that there. I jumped the gun a bit because this was a repeat thing here, I've seen like three posts in the past few months alone of people claiming they went into a Gamestop and were offered a certain price for a system, and it takes very little research to see the price they were given is for a broken/dead console. But I do apologize for saying you did that, as I just didn't notice the website error.
Did they offer you the Venmo option or say anything about it?
Venmo option, I called before hand.
I also had to wait for them to update everything since I didn't turn on my PS5 in months. Just got to have everything from PS5, controller, usb for controller, power cable, console stand, and hdmi. You don't need the box though.
If you are a frequent amazon shopper you can reload your gift card balance for the exact amount of the prepaid debit cards, I usually do that since i tend to forget about those cards while amazon balance lasts forever.
There used to be an option to reload balances into paypal as well but dunno if they still have that program or what sort of fees there are.
Just sold a Disc PS5 and it was mostly painless. The cashier said "They don't do cash anymore" and I didn't want to argue so I just asked for the Venmo option. It was pretty painless after that, it took about 1-2 minutes to show in my account so I just waited at the store until I could confirm.
Yeah I'm right here too.
Not credit? Actual money?
Think I might do it.
Running until the 20th?
So my GameStop told me this was running until the 20th and the prices should stay the same l. May not be the same with yours so I'd double check.
Been thinking about selling my Series X for a few months now.
Glad I was able to sell it today to the ones I thought were the biggest con artists of all, GameStop.

Dont do it!!! Sell your stuff online or to friends, maximize your money while also leaving gamestop out to dry
I'm in a similar boat, honestly think I might and use some of the cash to pick up an Xbox 360 since that's really all I use the Series X for now anyway.
Trading in the XSS/XSX is maximizing your money and leaving gamestop out to dry.

Why let gamestop turn around and sell your xbox for 430 when you could do that instead

I packed up my Series X for trade. I think I'm done with Xbox after this.
I want to trade my launch Switch as well, however I would still buy a Switch 2 in the future.
I don't want to lose my digital Switch games though. Is there any confirmation that Switch 2 will be backwards compatible, and also let us get our digital games attached to account without needing our original Switch for transfer or anything?

It would be really difficult, if even possible, to sell a used Series X for $430.
Might be able to sell for $300 on eBay, but then you have to pay seller fees and the fees from PayPal payments. GameStop seems like the better and easier deal. Only for this week's special, though.

im seeing now that it's not actually a bad deal but anything that could potentially lead to gamestop's benefit im gonna go ahead and nope out of
And we thank you for a pointless thread derail with your weird vendetta against GameStop.
Good prices. Don't sleep on this deal if you think you're gonna get rid of one of these systems soon in the future. Values are just going to drop (and not just at GameStop).
it was one post and I already said I was wrong and it's a good deal, was there really a reason to be rude about it?
