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.
Aldi is giving Leedsshoppers the chance to take part in a real-life supermarket sweep for charity.
Building on the success of Aldi Scotland’s long-running initiative – which has raised more than £60,000 for charity over the past decade – Aldi is bringing its successful ‘Supermarket Sweep’ fundraiser to England and Wales for the first time, and shoppers from across Leeds and West Yorkshire will have the chance to take part for a brilliant cause.
10 winners will be selected to take part in the challenge at their local Aldi store, racing against the clock to fill their trolley with Aldi products in just five minutes.
Once the dash is complete, Aldi will donate the full value of each winning trolley to Teenage Cancer Trust, helping to support young people with cancer across the UK.
Unfamiliar with Supermarket Sweep the TV show? This is how it works.

The game consists of three teams of two, each with a clock that starts with 60 seconds on it. The teams then attempt to add as much time as possible to their clock by answering questions and riddles posed by the host. The time they accumulate determines how long they have in the ‘Big Sweep’ round to run around a studio mock-up of a supermarket, collecting shopping items.
The team with the shopping trolley filled with items of the most value wins the chance to enter the final ‘Super Sweep’ prize round.
Speaking as entries to the unique competition open this week, Julie Ashfield, who is the Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “Our customers are always incredibly supportive of the causes we champion, and we’re pleased to be bringing this much-loved fundraising initiative to England and Wales for the first time.
“We can’t wait to give shoppers the opportunity to put their trolley-dashing skills to the test, while helping to raise vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust. Every pound raised will help the charity continue providing specialist care and support to young people with cancer when they need it most.”
The competition is now open, with entries closing at 23:59 on Tuesday 4 August.
To enter, you’ll simply need to email aldisupermarketsweep@aldi.co.uk with your details for the chance to win, and you can find all the terms and conditions here.
‘This Yorkshire city has it all’ – Leeds crowned as one of the UK’s most underrated city breaks
Clementine Hall
Leeds has been named as one of the most underrated city breaks in the UK by Time Out.
It's time to cancel your city break to London, Edinburgh or wherever you think the grass is greener...because Leeds is now the place to beat.
A new article by Time Out has crowned Leeds as one of the most underrated locations for a UK city break, and we couldn't agree more.
The article praises Leeds for it's fabulous independent music venues, sprawling green spaces and standout restaurants.

In fact, they perfectly paint out how your city break in Leeds could look. From seeing a gig at the Brudenell Social Club and enjoying dinner at the critically acclaimed Highland Laddie, to drinking at The Domino Club and exploring the 700-acre fields of Roundhay Park.
But don't just take our word for it, here's what the piece had to say about our wonderful city: "Anyone who has ever lived in Leeds already knows its brilliance. From unrivalled independent music venues to sprawling green spaces to quietly outstanding restaurants, this Yorkshire city has it all.
"But outside of God’s Own County, it’s not necessarily the first place people think of when planning a UK day trip or staycation...For starters, it’s the home of Brudenell Social Club, which Time Out recently crowned the greatest live music venue in the entire UK.
"Leeds’ food scene is something to behold, too. Bavette, with its perfectly prepared French fare, is Time Out’s favourite restaurant there (it recently earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its excellent value), closely followed by the uber-cool Empire Cafe, the wondrous Ox Club and the intimate Sushi Nakamura."
We agree with absolutely everything being said, and it's got us craving a city break in our very own city. You can read the full article here.
