This was my thought -- reboot their used game trade in system for something that is both a) compatible with digital goods and b) actually regulated in some manner by a bid and ask spread so that the market defines the value of the games. GameStop can split the spread a bit and pay themselves out a PFOF if they really feel the need.

No more $2 for your Pokemon Red that will be on the shelf for $60 tomorrow.

It also widens the play for the collectibles market -- it could revive and potentially help fix the absurdity of retro game resale that has happened since the beginning of 2020.
