This was an easy one to see coming - some products from the viral Greggs x Primark range have already appeared on eBay for three times their original price.
The budget clothing retailer and bakery chain announced their 'freshly-baked collab' earlier this month.
Shoppers flocked to participating stores in the homes of getting their hands on the merch, which includes Greggs-branded boxers, joggers, and bucket hats.
Greggs and Primark said: "For the first time in Greggs’ 83-year history, you will officially be able to wear your Sausage Roll-loving heart on your sleeve and look like a snack thanks to our incredible new clothing range... [which will be] available at 60 Primark stores across the UK."
Queues outside the door and wrapping around the building were spotted at Primark branches UK-wide on launch day.
But despite the 11-piece collection only landing in stores just a couple of days ago, it looks like many of the items have already sold-out due to high demand, which has inevitably meant that eagle-eyed shoppers have spotted them listed on eBay for hiked prices.
A £10 top with the bakery's iconic sausage roll has been listed on the selling e-commerce auction website for the much steeper price of £25, a selection of the sell-out hoodies and joggers can be seen selling for around £140, while the viral £16 novelty trainers are listed for a whopping £99.
£8 sliders are being sold for £34.95 on the auction site, and bucket hats at £99.

Unsurprisingly, fans have been 'baffled' by the staggeringly-high resale prices, and have taken to social media to comically call out the situation.
One shocked shopper said on Twitter: "The Greggs x Primark collection sold out and people are now reselling it on eBay for x8 the price - this country baffles me."

"The Greggs x Primark stuff sold out? Okay, is this the apocalypse now?," another questioned.
A third said: "I see that people have bought up all the Primark x Greggs clothing and are selling it on eBay for ridiculous prices. £140 for a hoodie that was about £16. Seriously."
In case you missed it, the Greggs x Primark collaboration didn't just include the viral clothing range, as the brands also opened the biggest and "most Instagrammable Greggs the world has ever seen" inside Primark’s flagship store in Birmingham city centre.
The ‘Tasty by Greggs’ cafe boasts 130 seats, a Sugar Strand Doughnut swing, picnic area, and self-service coffee cart, alongside popular bakes, hot drinks and sweet treats.
Did you know you can watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 for free across Leeds just by taking a quick trip to the shops?
If you’re eager to watch Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) and the Runway Magazine crew on the big screen once again, you can do so for free.
After making its cinema premiere earlier this month, 20 years since the first film, The Devil Wears Prada 2 continues the story with more iconic quotes and a whole host of celebrity cameos.
One of these is pop phenomenon Lady Gaga, who also appears on the soundtrack for this stylish sequel alongside artists like Miley Cyrus, Doechii, and Brit acts Raye and Olivia Dean.
Just like real life, the story follows the real-life fashion news outlet and media brand, Runway Mag, undergoing some major changes.
For instance, they’re wrestling with scrapping print editions of their beloved publication and swapping this for online short-form content.
The sequel to this fashion-focused film also sees role reprisals from Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, with new additions from Lucy Liu, Kenneth Branagh and Justin Theroux.
Now, enough of us talking at “a glacial pace”, let’s get all of you fashion fans those free cinema tickets before they go out of style.

Passengers across the North warned as new train timetables are being introduced this month
Emily Sergeant
Passengers across the North are being told to plan head as new train timetables with ‘targeted adjustments’ are being introduced this month.
Forming part of the national timetable change – which takes place twice a year each May and December – train operator Northern is reminding customers about changes which are going live next week following recent feedback from customers on how to improve.
While most of Northern’s services set to see little to no change this month, there are some ‘targeted adjustments’ taking place.
In the North West and Greater Manchester, there will be some small changes on a few routes to ‘help with punctuality’, but it’s elsewhere across the region where more significant changes are set to take place.

In the North East, more customers will be able to travel between Newcastle and Whitby on Sundays without changing trains, and there will be some small tweaks to the timetables on other lines.
Then, over in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, trains running between Sheffield and Lincoln will now call at all stations along the route on Sundays.
“We’ve listened to feedback from our customers and have focused on improving reliability when the May timetable change takes place,” commented Toby Higgins, who is the Head of Business Performance at Northern, ahead of the timetable changes being introduced next week.
“Whilst there won’t be widespread changes to times, I’d advise customers to check before they travel as some services will leave a few minutes earlier than they do now to help with overall punctuality.”
New train timetables go live from next Sunday 17 May, and the full details of all of the changes taking place across the network can be found on Northern’s website here.
