Dear Mr. Cohen, The Board, with the support of its independent advisors, has thoroughly reviewed your proposal and has determined to reject it.

Ryan Cohen announced that he was selling a bunch of stuff on eBay to try to fund the Funko Pop store's proposed $56 billion bid for the online reseller site. The stunt follows criticisms that the executive doesn't have enough cash to actually make that acquisition. But it appears that at least some of the items being auctioned could be remnants looted from the legendary Game Informer Vault, where the long-running publication housed decades of video game history before GameStop shut down the publication in 2024.

Gamestop transferred its entire bitcoin stack to Coinbase Prime on or around January 16, 2026, which triggered widespread rumors about an exit from the crypto asset. The filing clarified that the transfer was operational, not a liquidation.

On January 20, video game retailer, Bitcoin investor, and Funko Pop graveyard GameStop posted a lengthy comment to Twitter about a so-called "Infinite Money Glitch" that was recently discovered by YouTube content creator RJCmedia. How the glitch worked, apparently, was that if you bought a Nintendo Switch 2 for $415 and then immediately traded it back in along with the purchase of any pre-owned game, a promo would be triggered that increased the value of the trade-in to $472. Repeat this a few times, and you could rack up a few hundred bucks in trade-in credit.

The video game retailer said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday that Cohen would have to grow its market capitalization to $100 billion and it would need to hit $10 billion in cumulative performance EBITDA - or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization - for his award to fully vest. GameStop said Cohen won't receive any guaranteed pay, which it defines as no salary, no cash bonuses, and no stock that simply vests over time.

GameStop, the video game retail giant, is hosting a "Trade Anything Day" on Saturday, Dec. 6, where people can bring in almost anything to trade in for a store credit. There are a few ground rules, however. For one, the company says the item must fit in a 20-by-20-by-20 box. So, if you were hoping to trade in your retro Sony Trinitron CRT TV from the '90s, you're out of luck (although you may find another customer willing to buy it).

You might have already spent a ton of money building up a modest collection of amiibo, Nintendo's NFC-equipped figures for Switch and Switch 2. But whether you're looking to add extras, or you're just starting out, GameStop has several amiibo figures starting at just $5.99. On Bluesky, Wario64 pointed out the page that contains all of the models selling at up to 70 percent off.

Opendoor shares are up 20% in premarket trading and reached a peak of $4.88 yesterday before experiencing significant volatility throughout the day.

The stapler now stands as a retail legend born from a half-second decision. It has 'authentic field-use wear throughout' and is now auctioned for charity.
