Should I lowkenuinely trade in my PS5 at GameStop?

Question

I've tried selling it to GameStop 2 times in the past week, and it feels like the universe is trying to stop me. (forgot the little plastic feet the first time at a gamestop ~40 mins away, and I found out that the gamestop ~20 mins away closed after going there to try and trade it in today)

I have a PC, Switch 2, and PS5. I got the PS5 about a year ago to play games like fortnite and warzone with my friends while I was at my dad's. Yeah, fortnite has a switch version, but i ain't playing that.

Aside from playing games with friends, I also picked up Astro Bot, which I liked a lot, and Spider Man Miles Morales, which I liked decently enough. Fast forward 6 months, and I don't go to my dad's anymore. I haven't really been too into my PS5 since then, It just sorta sits on my console shelf eating up an outlet. There isn't really anything coming out that I care about that I can't buy on PC or Switch 2, and given the option, i'd almost always go with Switch 2 version.

I don't need the money, but if I sell my PS5 and games, I'd get enough store credit to just walk into GameStop for the next 2-3 years and buy whatever new Switch game I want.
