You can own the GameStop stapler that broke Nintendo Switch 2 consoles


The top bid for the stapler, along with a punctured Switch 2, is currently $18K.

After employees at the retailer stapled Switch 2 receipts to boxes in a way that punctured some of the consoles' screens, the company promised that it would "make things right" for those customers. In addition to giving replacement Switch 2s to those people, GameStop has decided to turn the whole viral event into a publicity stunt for charity. Today, it posted on X that it would auction off the "infamous" stapler responsible for the incident, with the proceeds benefiting the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
