A Nintendo Switch 2, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s underwear, and lunch at McDonald’s in Miami can be yours for just $1 million

If you want a stapler, a very special staple, a Nintendo Switch 2, and GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s boxers (or briefs?), boy, have we got a deal for you!

All of those items — plus a trip to Miami and lunch at a very popular quick-service restaurant — can be yours if you win the “GameStop Staplegate Charity Auction” (up on eBay) with a bid of over $1 million, thanks to Cohen upping the ante with this post on X on Thursday:

“Staplegate” refers to one unfortunate incident among many that occurred in the frenzy to get the hotly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, when a GameStop employee stapled the customer’s receipt to the box (yes, the winner gets that very box as well) and punctured the screen of the new console in the process.

As of noon Thursday, the top bid is $110,000. Crossing the six-figure threshold means that Cohen’s underwear is already in play. There’s still a ways to go before a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in South Beach is on the menu, though.

Per Cohen, the proceeds will go to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

JetBlue is raising its bag fees as fuel costs squeeze airlines

JetBlue will reportedly hike its bag fees, as the cost of jet fuel continues to climb amid the war in Iran. It’s the latest example of carriers finding ways to push rising costs onto travelers.

Last week, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said that if fuel prices remain elevated, fares would need to rise another 20% for his airline to break even this year.

As CNBC reported, when one airline raises fees, others tend to follow.

Earlier this month, JetBlue hiked its first-quarter outlook for operating revenue per seat mile to between 5% and 7%, saying that strong Q1 demand helped “partially offset additional expenses realized from operational disruptions and rising fuel costs.” Now, the carrier appears to be making moves to further boost revenue to offset those costs.

Earlier on Monday, JetBlue rival Alaska Air lowered its Q1 profit forecast. The refining margins for the carrier’s cheapest fuel option — sourced from Singapore and representing about 20% of Alaska’s overall supply — have spiked 400% since February.

JetBlue did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
