Earlier this year, at the top of Nintendo Switch 2 Fever, a random gamestop in the state of Island managed to make the news for all the wrong reasons. Eagerly to print as many consoles through the door as they could -and a broken AC unit that had stickers that melt -excited Gamestop -employees began to rescue receipts directly on the box in Nintendo Switch 2, just for the people who bought these Switch 2 to quickly find out why these gamstop really should not have it.
Due to how Nintendo Switch 2 is boxed (bizarrely I can add), the screen of the system is directly against the box, which means that the staples used to secure the receipt punctured the console's screen itself. Of course, these brackets were eventually replaced, but it was a hell of a goof-up, on what would be a pretty exciting day for Switch 2 fans.
Gamestop's infamous Nintendo Switch 2 -Site apparatus is auctioned
Now that the dust has lowered, and we can all see the fun side of the situation, Gamestop has decided to do some good and set the notorious stapler that made the deed for auction. Gamestop, which was announced on Twitter earlier today (thanks Kotaku), shared an eBay list for the stapler, Nintendo Switch 2 that was damaged and the staples embedded in the system's screen, with all the proceeds that go to Children's Miracle's Hospital's well -being.

Am I the only one who thinks Nintendo Switch 2 has had a fantastic launch?
No, it's the players who are wrong.
If you want to place a bid for a bizarre piece of Nintendo history, you can find the list here, but you need Very deep Pockets if you actually want to take it home. This is because, although this list is just a stapler and a regular Nintendo Switch 2, bidding has already managed to reach over $ 100,000, and it has increased quite dramatically during the day.
It is a bit of a shameless publicity stunt from Gamestop, which has admittedly turned a bad situation into something fun, but with all the revenue that goes into a good thing you can't help but admire them just a little.
