Recently I attended an eye-opening press day at GameStop in Universal City, California. There, I experienced first-hand the full range of video gaming products the company offers to consumers in addition to learning about their comprehensive trade-in program deals and offers. This national event for female bloggers, which traveled to multiple major market cities from New York to L.A., was organized by the team at Techlicious, a company that provides a treasure trove of family-friendly consumer electronics information, advice and resources to parents. Moms LA was instrumental in bringing together us Southern California women tech bloggers for the Los Angeles leg of GameStop's #NavigatetheHolidays blogger tour.

It turns out, video games and consumer electronics proved once again to be extremely popular presents. In fact both were among the best performing product categories during the 2013 holiday shopping season, according to actual sales statistics reported by comScore in early January.

You can bring in old video games to your local retailer and exchange them for cash or GameStop instant store credit that can be used to buy gently-used and new games and equipment. But that's only the tip of the iceberg of opportunity for avid gamers who also want to stretch their budget. The retailer also accepts video game hardware, accessories, consumer electronics including Apple devices and more for trade-in.
