"GameStop's "Trade Anything Day" took place on December 6 and, as expected, people brought in all manner of items to get some cash. GameStop said in a news release that it took in more than 80,000 trades across the US on December 6 alone, and people brought in lots of unexpected and usual items, including a taxidermied bobcat and goose, a speed limit sign, a Wii Netflix disc, a bowling ball, a tiny Jesus, and "a literal can of whoop-ass.""
"The retailer also noted that people brought in "a significant number" of canned food goods to support food banks and pet shelters. One person attempted to trade in their dog (presumably as a joke, we hope!) but was rejected. Another person tried to trade in their Social Security card but GameStop said no. Someone else brought in a copy of the Declaration of Independence, and GameStop seemingly accepted it."
"The fine print of the Trade Anything promotion mentioned that people would be limited to one trade and a value of $5. It's not immediately clear what GameStop is doing with all the items people brought. The Deptford, New Jersey GameStop location took in the most trades, at more than 250. Here are some of the notable traded items, as shared by GameStop."
Trade Anything Day occurred on December 6 and generated more than 80,000 trades across the US.

Traded items included taxidermied animals, a speed limit sign, a bowling ball, a tiny Jesus, a Wii Netflix disc, and even a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Many customers donated canned food goods to benefit food banks and pet shelters. Attempts to trade a dog and a Social Security card were rejected. The Deptford, New Jersey store recorded the highest number of trades, over 250. GameStop also pledged not to raise Xbox Game Pass prices for now.
