Video game trade-in is a process where players can exchange their used video games, consoles, or accessories for store credit or cash. Many retailers, such as GameStop or Best Buy, offer this service, allowing customers to upgrade to new titles or systems without spending a lot of money. The value of the trade-in depends on the condition and popularity of the item. To trade in a game, customers typically bring their items to the store, where staff assess their value. After evaluation, the customer receives an offer, which they can accept or decline. This practice helps promote sustainability by encouraging the reuse of gaming products.
