A little more than a week after announcing that the infamous 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch 2 console that managed to get damaged by a st💛aple on launไch night at a New York-area GameStop store 🐟was going up for auction, with proceeds going to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals charity, the console has sold.
As spotted by Polygon, the console , more than 500 times the recommended reꩵtail price of $449.99 for a standard Switch 2 console. In all, 282 bids were placed among 94 bidders, with just four customers retracting their bids.
The listing started out with a meager $1 starting price, and it didn't take long to jump into the hundreds of thousands, as its first bid was for $1🐲09,621. From there, things quickly went back and forth in the thousands, before finally set🌞tling at $250,000. The user that won the item only bid on it twice, all at the last minute.
The Saga Began And Ended With A Regular Black Stapler
As the story goes, a gamer in New York shared the unfortunate situation they found themselv🦩es in, after GameStop stapled their pre-order receipts for the Switch 2 directly to the console box itsel꧑f.
Because the console is directly behind the cardboard, with no barrier in between, the staples managed to puncture through to impact the screen, rendering🔯 the console damaged before it had even been turned on.
The incident was reportedly isolated to just one store, with the retailer quickly working to make things right, including accepting returns of the d𒐪amaged console and replacing it with a non🙈-damaged one.
Recognizing the virality of the situation, GameStop put every item involved up for auction. The stapler us🦩ed, along with the console impacted were auctioned, alongside the actual staple itself and a certificate of authenticity for the whole thing. It's worth noting that the console itself is fully functional, as the screen was repaired.
All that is to say, "Staple-gate" is offici𓄧ally done away with.
