A GameStop employee damaged a Nintendo Switch 2 with a stapler in June. Now that stapler and other "staplegate" items have sold on eBay for $250,000.

Console launches are chaotic endeavors, and the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch was exactly that, right up to surprise snacks appearing alongside some new Switches. Chaos was most prevalent, perhaps, at a GameStop in New York City (specifically Staten Island) where dozens of consoles were ruined by staples that pierced the screens.
