A Gamestop employee ruined dozens of Switch 2 with a tacker – now the company is auctioning the tool for a good cause. It is already at a quarter of a million

At 9.30 a.m. on July 14, 2025, the disaster tacker was already $ 249,900.

That could be the best news you read today. About four weeks ago we reported that a Gamestop employee ruined a number of Switch 2 consoles because he tackled the receipt to the box.

The end of the song: Broken displays and tons of returns.

A nuisance for buyers is now a big prize for sick children.

Gamestop auctions auctioned tackers on Ebay, as the company recently announced on X (formerly Twitter) – together with the first “broken” Switch 2.

This is included in the action package:

• The black tacker itself
• The Eeart GetAcker Switch 2 Console
• The original bricked box
• The original tacker needle, which was “carefully removed and kept”.
• A certificate of authenticity

As can be seen from this Reddit-Thread, the last bid was around 67,000 US dollars about 6 hours around 6 hours ago (as of July 10, July 10, 2025)-but that would have been blown up long ago.

Tacker including underpants of the CEO

At the current time, the bid on Ebay is $ 249,900, because another post has been added in the package.

Gamestop CEO Ryan Cohen also announced about X that he was still auctioning one of his underpants.

Everything ultimately serves a good cause. All income goes to the children’s hospitals of the Children Miracle Network.

More about Switch 2:

Apart from the good cause: Would it be worth offering the offer? After all, she was given a switch 2 with a damaged display, which still works perfectly in the mode. You can always use the expensive tacker and if you happen to have the same pants size as GameStops CEO, you have underpants more in your closet.

First and foremost, the bid is of course used to help children in need. However, Gamestop is happy to take the good PR with him.
