High street store Primark has released £10 T-shirts that are so popular they are now being resold on auction site, eBay by fans looking to cash in on the bargain price. The T-shirts are part of the new Netflix Stranger Things collection which has been selling out quickly across stores in the UK.
Customers have been comparing the T-shirts to the craze for PS5 when they were first released reports the Manchester Evening News. Some fans have even begged the store to restock the merchandise while others have placed the T-shirts online for more than ten times their original price.
One listing proves that fans of the hit TV show are desperate to get their hands on the products as one person listed the T-shirt for £150. However, there are still some sizes available at random Primark stores across the UK. Primark famously does not offer an online store so fans have to rely on their local store to stock the items.
Although there are some T-shirts left, shoppers have been sharing their experiences of trips to their local branches and frustration with sold-out sizes.
One person tweeted: "Trying to get the Stranger Things Hellfire Club T-Shirt in Primark is literally the PS5 scenario all over again. It’s sold out everywhere." Another lamented: "Every Primark in my whole county is sold out of Hellfire Club t-shirts. Please tell me what I've done to deserve this."
A third fed-up person said: "Trying to explode everyone who got a Hellfire Club shirt with my mind. I raced down at seven this morning to my fourth Primark and nothing." A number of others have claimed to have seen their sizes in stock at their local store after checking online, only to find out this wasn't the case after actually getting there."
eBay sellers are profiting off shopper's frustrations, with one size small top going for an incredible £150. According to the listing: "From a smoke-free, pet-free home. This has been packed and stored ready for delivery. Will be posted first class recorded delivery."
"Sold out in the store and no restock as advised. This is sold in the men's department so sizing is men's sizing."
