Stranger Things' 'Hellfire Club' t-shirts have been flying off Primark's shelves. And the tops are now being sold for as much as £150 on eBay.
Many fans of the hit Netflix series have been struggling to get their hands on the t-shirts, which retail at just £10 in-store. Others, meanwhile, have been taking advantage of the situation by selling them for more than 10 times the price on eBay.
It is easy to see why the graphic top has proven such a hit, looking more or less identical to the one worn by metalhead Eddie Munson and the rest of his Dungeons and Dragons team. After checking online for a UK size medium, it appears the top is still available in a few Primark stores across the country, including at branches in Bexleyheath, Derby and Ipswich.
However, there are far more red crosses than green ticks, as further illustrated by various fruitless shopping outings recounted via social media, reports the Daily Mirror. 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 complained: "Every Primark in my whole county is sold out of Hellfire Club t-shirts. Please tell me what I've done to deserve this." The Mirror has reached out to Primark for comment.
Meanwhile, some eBay sellers are profiting off such frustrations, with one size small top going for a whopping £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."
