GameStops vd auktionerar ut föremål på eBay för att finansiera köp

GameStops vd Ryan Cohen har lagt ut en samling personliga och företagsrelaterade föremål till försäljning på eBay. Draget sker samtidigt som detaljhandelskedjan undersöker möjligheten att förvärva själva marknadsplatsen. Intäkterna från auktionerna beskrivs som ett bidrag till det målet.

Cohen publicerade en länk till annonserna på sociala medier den 6 maj. Föremålen sträcker sig från retrospel, inklusive inplastade exemplar av Yoshi’s Cookie och det ursprungliga Metroid, till en Master Chief-staty och en Vault Boy-staty. Andra föremål inkluderar en GameStop-keps, en bit matta från en butik, en iPhone och ett PSA 10-samlarkort föreställande Donald Trumps installation 2016. Varje annons innehåller ett signerat exemplar av Cohens brev där han föreslår förvärvet av eBay.
