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

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

Posted on 10 July 2025 By jobuzo

GameStop has been specializing in making pretty wacky headlines in recent years, and its latest follows in that grand tradition. 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.

The eBay listing for the notorious stapler currently has a top bid of $18,000. But if you really want to have not just a stapler, but also the first Switch 2 it broke, the box with the puncture marks and the offending stapler, feel free to throw your money at it.

And if you want to support another worthy charity via gaming in a less ridiculous fashion that doesn’t involve GameStop, be sure to tune into the ongoing Summer Games Done Quick 2025 marathon. The event is raising money for Doctors Without Borders through July 13.
