Ryan Cohen's eBay Listings Net $168,421 as Halo 2 Statue Sells for $15,100

$168,421.39 is what GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen raised after his weeklong eBay sale ended, with a large Halo 2 Master Chief statue the top item at $15,100.
105 bids pushed that statue to the highest price; other strong sellers included two shuttered GameStop store signs at $14,921 and two South Park statues at $13,400.
Cohen launched the listings after saying he was "selling stuff on eBay to pay for eBay" following GameStop's unsolicited $55.5 billion bid, which eBay has since rejected.
That haul equals about 0.0003% of the proposed takeover price, underscoring the stunt's symbolic nature as Cohen still presses eBay to engage on his $125-a-share offer.
