Switch 2 ruining stapler now up for online charity auction by GameStop
The infamous stapler used by GameStop that ruined Switch 2 launch day for some customers has now been put up for auction.
Now - in an offer of goodwill, but also something of a publicity stunt - GameStop has put the stapler up for auction on eBay, with proceeds benefitting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Reads the certificate: "The black stapler used by a GameStop associate who, in a moment of launch night excitement and misjudged enthusiasm, stapled a receipt directly to a customer's new Nintendo Switch 2 box - puncturing both cardboard and screen in one swift motion. Features authentic field-use wear throughout and retired immediately from service, the stapler now stands as a retail legend born from a half-second decision."
