Gamestop puts a stapler auction that spoiled a client’s Nintendo Switch 2

During the release of Nintendo Switch 2 in June, a Gamestop employee in Staten Island, New York, damaged a console screen by stapling a receipt in the box, piercing both cardboard and screen.

The company replaced Nintendo Switch 2 damaged by the customer, but faced criticism after the incident viralizes on social networks. It is noteworthy that other customers were also harmed by the clamp on the screen.

Anyway, after this event, Gamestop itself decided to open a charity auction, and put the following items involved for auction.

• The stapler used by the employee.
• The damaged Switch 2 (now repaired).
• The retail box of the console.
• The staple used, preserved in a display bag.

“The black stapler used by a gametep employee who, at a time of excitement at the throwing night and poorly calculated enthusiasm, stapled a receipt directly in a new client’s Nintendo Switch 2 box, piercing both the cardboard and the screen in a single fast move,” says the item’s description.

“It has authentic marks of use in the field and was immediately retired from the service. Now the stapler has become a retail legend, born of a decision made in half second. Although the incident itself was unfortunate, we hope its legacy has a greater purpose,” said Gamestop.

All profits will be donated to Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, an organization that supports children’s hospitals in North America. By the time of publication, the subast had reached $ 108 895.00, with more than 6 days.

The company said that although the incident has been unhappy, it expects the subast to turn the situation into something positive for a larger cause.
