Rush on toilet paper leads to sales on eBay and Gumtree

The poster of a 16-roll toilet paper pack asking over a thousand dollars said in their description, “Selling toilet paper, VERY hard to find. I was asking $150 per roll, but have brought it down to $100 per roll, come on that's cheap. It's silky white, won't be after use.”Who Gives A Crap, an Australian recycled toilet paper company, has also run out of toilet paper.

“We also want to acknowledge that these are crazy times,” the company said in a statement which also encouraged its customers to remain calm. “We feel it too. We’re thinking a lot about how we can do our bit to encourage kindness, empathy and calm. If you have spare rolls, see if your neighbours need some. Go and support your favourite Chinese restaurant. Watch some puppy videos.”

If you can afford to spend $1000 for toilet paper, you can definitely afford to buy and install an electronic bidet. Stop wasting your money on a roll of dead tree, wash your bum instead.

I guess if people are stupid enough and gullible enough to cause this shortage problem in the first place then it stands to reason that there are people stupid enough to pay ridiculous prices for it as well.

Toilet paper is only good if you wash your hands after 🤗

Unfortunately there will also be plenty of halfwits than will pay.

I can understand the rush on dub rub in Australia as everyone wants a few ScottyFromMarketing 'selfies'...😂

Yep. And there goes stupid, or as Libs call it 'free market' eh auspol

Yes it's giving people the shits.

One confirmed sale at ridiculous prices please. Just one is all that’s needed. Interview the person that paid the money to understand why. Otherwise, stop reporting on memes as news.

Well who woukd be stupid to buy it when it is made in Australia and production has been ramped up....my thoughts go to the Dr if you need so much toilet paper you have issues!!

Mental health bigger issue than realised.

Vile and greedy.

Well toilet paper and hand sanitiser this week I wonder what the media will hype up next week. Will it be batteries and bottled water or maybe just caned food. I'm sure the retailers are rubbing their hands together with glee.

Just the dumbest people on earth. Good one, Aussies.

Wear a face mask and don't shake hands. Be this guy.😂🤣😂🤡🌏

These type need be shot for trying to take advantage of others

Funny! High toilet paper sales just proves that Australians are literally shitting their undies with the coronavirus outbrake. 😂 auspol

Disgraceful. I'm selling 24 rolls for just $500.

$1000 or $2 I'm sure on the whole it would be the same

Pro tip. Face washers and Napisan.

Somebody putting a cheap plentiful product on an online auction site or classifieds IS NOT news. It never will be. “Man lists old sock for $1 billion”. It isn’t a story unless someone is stupid enough to buy it and money changes hands. SBS should know better. toiletpapercrisis

Shares soar for Kimberly Clark..

Our Prime Minister speaks and next thing people have gone running to buy shit paper 🤔 is this telling us something

Fake

We are a truly shit species. auspol coronavirusaustralia

😂😂

Boxes of tissue paper are much the same as toilet paper.

Has everyone gone completely mad

What the hell did Morrison say ?

I thought it was a bit of a piss take. No one in their right mind would pay for it on ebay or gumtree.

Toilet paper too precious of a commodity to flush it down the loo, recommendation ,buy and hold , long term high returns

Trouble down under?

okboomer

Given you're more likely to win lotto than die from this next installment of the WHO scare campaign, get ready for all this to be returned within the fortnight.

It’s just giving everyone the shits!!

Oh shit.....

Looks like Aussies will just to have to go back to cut- up newspapers on a spike, outdoor dunny style of '50s....

Or you can drive to any country town where people don’t gullibly believe whatever the media tells then to panic about and you’ll find plenty on the shelves. toiletpapergate

Such a crappy thing to do!

I have a couple of spare rolls - for you - 500$

Random response to coronavirus...I think diarrhea is not the issue...no respect to other customers from some crazies!

naah i will drag my ass on the grass down the park.

Why toilet paper? Hand sanitiser or soap would make more sense.

I’m actually rooting for coronavirus here Oh the humanity toiletpapergate australia shitshow toiletpaperapocalypse

FFS

Ahhh - enlightened self-interest... where would we all be without it? Just human beings being human: when they are not running in blind fear from the shadows of their own imagination, they are attempting to swindle each other. Imagine this: a World without Fear or Greed...

If anyone I know supports these parasites by paying above average prices for toilet paper I will suffocate them with it. Worst thing you can do is pay these people for stealing all the loo role! Have supermarkets put restrictions in place?

Give it a rest SBS

Selling it to residents in china? 🤔🤔

Insane...
