GameStop Customer Trades in Hundreds of Broken Consoles for More Than $10,000 in Store Credit
A GameStop customer from Clackamas, Oregon is going viral after trading in hundreds of old, busted consoles to earn over $10,000 in store credit from the games retailer.
In Clackamas, Oregon, a GameStop customer made headlines in August 2026 by trading in hundreds of broken consoles to accumulate over $10,000 in store credit. While GameStop is known for offering low trade-in values, this customer's haul was notably substantial. The company shared photos of the customer's collection, which included various generations of consoles such as PSPs, Nintendo Switches, a vintage Game Boy, and an original NES.
The customer proudly displayed his earnings, showing off his "money spread" of GameStop gift cards. Despite this impressive trade-in, many netizens questioned whether he could have obtained a higher value by selling the consoles on platforms like eBay.
