GameStopの最高経営責任者（CEO）であるライアン・コーエン氏が、個人所有物や同社関連の品々をeBayに出品した。同社がeBay自体の買収を検討する中での動きであり、オークションの収益は買収資金の一部に充てられるとされている。
コーエン氏は5月6日、自身のSNSで出品リストへのリンクを投稿した。出品物は、未開封の『ヨッシーのクッキー』や初代『メトロイド』といったレトロゲームから、『マスターチーフ』や『Vault Boy』のスタチューまで多岐にわたる。その他にも、GameStopの帽子や店舗から剥がしたカーペットの一部、iPhone、ドナルド・トランプ氏の2016年の就任式が描かれたPSA 10のトレーディングカードなども含まれている。すべての出品物には、コーエン氏がeBayへの買収提案を記した署名入り書簡が添えられている。
