Every week Target shows their focus on the gaming industry with targeted sales. Earlier in the year, Target re-designed their stores to expand their consumer electronics area.

Today we learn that Target has launched their Electronics Trade-In program. In the program, guests’ used items are “either refurbished and resold to a secondary market or properly recycled”. This makes sense for consumer electronics like digital music players, cameras, and phones. But for games as well? Guests will get credit toward any Target purchase when they turn in their new or used video games, mobile phones and iPods.

“Our goal is to create the best and easiest shopping experience for our guests. As we continue to grow and enhance our consumer electronics business, we designed 1-877-myTGTtech to assist guests with any questions and technical support on their electronics purchases,” said Mark Schindele, senior vice president, Target. “Target Electronics Trade-In offers our guests an opportunity to upgrade their consumer electronics items for less and Target Mobile ensures a convenient cell phone shopping experience.”

Here are more details on the game trade in. Guests can bring their item to the Target Mobile counter for appraisal and then decide if they want to trade the item in and get the Target credit. The listed max is $200 per item which depends on the product and it’s condition. The program will launch starting September and be in 850 stores by the end of the year.
