To help customers find additional value in their used video games, today Toys”R”Us introduced a video game trade-in program at Toys”R”Us stores nationwide. Now, according to D2king, gamers who are ready to move onto new challenges can exchange their used video game titles from almost any system, including classics like Intellivision or the newest platforms, for a Toys”R”Us gift card representing the value offered for the trade-in. Gift cards can be immediately used on any product available in Toys”R”Us and Babies”R”Us stores or online at Toysrus.com.
Customers can participate in the video game trade-in program at Toys”R”Us stores in the United States as follows:
— Used video games in their original cases, with diablo 2 items for sale you can get the original case artwork for cheaper which may be brought to a Toys”R”Us Guest Services desk.
— Games will then be scanned and prices will be offered for individual titles.
— Gamers confirm that they want to accept the offer to exchange any, or all, of the games they brought to the store.
— Once the transaction is complete, customers receive an activated gift card equal to the total worth of all games traded.
