Last month, a New York GameStop location made headlines after now-confirmed reports of some Nintendo Switch 2 buyers receiving their consoles with receipts stapled straight through the packaging with enough force to scratch the handheld inside. “The infamous Switch 2 stapler” has been acknowledged and collected by GameStop, which is now auctioning it off on eBay with proceeds going to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
The official GameStop accounts revealed the listing earlier today. At the time of writing, the ”GameStop Staplegate Charity Auction’ | Nintendo Switch 2 & The Stapler” listing has already hit $16,900 after 127 bids.
The bundle includes the stapler behind this incident, the “first stapled Nintendo Switch 2,” the original staple “carefully extracted and preserved” from that Switch 2, the damaged console packaging, and a certificate of authenticity signed by GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen.
