The exploit that broke GameStop's system

$414.99 IN // $472.50 OUT // REPEAT

GameStop Official Statement on Infinite Money Glitch
CHAPTER 01

THE DISCOVERY

YouTuber RJCmedia uncovers something that shouldn't exist. A flaw in the system. A crack in reality itself.

By purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2 for $414.99 and immediately trading it back in...

CHAPTER 02

THE MECHANICS

The formula was elegant in its simplicity. Buy. Trade. Repeat. Watch the numbers climb.

Along with the purchase of a pre-owned game, a promotional bonus was triggered that increased the Switch 2 trade credit to $472.50.

CHAPTER 03

THE EXPLOIT

The system valued the trade MORE than the original purchase. An impossible equation. A beautiful paradox.

Customers could repeat this transaction over and over again to amass infinite trade credit.

CHAPTER 04

THE RESPONSE

GameStop acknowledged the glitch. Not with anger. But with respect.

"We applaud the creativity, but gently remind everyone that our stores are not designed to function as infinite money printers."
