GameStop's Outrageous Auction: The Infamous Stapler That Wrecked Nintendo Switch 2 Screens Is Up for Charity!

In an unexpected twist of irony, GameStop has stepped into the spotlight by announcing a rather unusual auction: they'll be selling the infamous stapler that inadvertently caused a fiasco on the launch day of the Nintendo Switch 2 at one of their stores. For those who might not be in the loop, a dedicated employee made the fateful decision to attach customer receipts to the rather flimsy box of the Nintendo Switch 2 using this stapler. Unfortunately, the unfortunate placement of the stapler resulted in punctured screens, as the console itself resides just under the fold of that cardboard. In retrospect, it’s clear that this wasn’t the wisest choice. Nevertheless, there’s a silver lining! The auction of this notorious stapler and its staples is for a noble cause, with all proceeds going to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. As of now, bidding for this rather unique piece of gaming history has already reached an impressive $16,900. Who knew one stapler could spark so much attention? Stay tuned for what could be a wild bidding war!
