Literally just now on ebay.

Nothing compared to what the governments mates got from PPE at the height of covid.

eBay_UK still some ads being added by those who wanted to pay their ‘respect’ to the late Queen. disgusting disrespectful greed

I’m the sick bastard who put it on for £100k

people in the que not surprised to be fair

Disgraceful

And we let these people vote!

But the royals are promoting themselves as good people when in fact they are living off inherited stolen blood money wealth plus on the backs of Working tax payers, they are like typical drug dealers living in mansions from dirty money

Back on track, we could focus on the injustice of war in Ukraine. £50k would be better injected into the demise of Putin's rein.

Very enterprising

Ebay did the same and removed my listing when I tried to flog my 2012 Olympic torch for £50k (batteries were included)

Electric bills have to be paid

If people can afford to pay £1,500 for a piece of meat at some restaurants - why not?

Liz Truss’s Britain

This country is the absolute pits

Disgusting people, and the same ones that demand the rest of us show respect. 🤢

People who are queuing up have they seen the photos of the victims of the Royal family? Hungry children and families, colonial loots victims, and victims of tax on working families

What sick person would either want to sell or buy such a thing? Beggars belief!!

It’s a total circus. God help her. She deserves to be resting in peace now not treated like a carnival attraction.

In fairness, why shouldnt people monetise it if they can? Guarantee the Royal Family will be selling all manner of Queen Elizabeth memorial tat the day after the funeral and nobody will bat an eye

Argh, we discovered the real reason these whoppers are queuing like demented lemmings. capitalism

The royal family take enough money from us every year. I see nothing wrong with making some money off of them.

If rich people want to buy wristbands then let them. Imagine getting £50k, I'd do the 24 hour queue for £2k!!!! Can just get out the queue (I don't know when you get the wristband).

Supply and demand people, supply and demand. Stop whining.

Gotta love raw capitalism.. We're definitely doomed...!

Clearly people deep in sorrow 🤣

Stay classy, Uk

We really are a joke aren’t we?

There was one on there for £81,500

I bet not one single one was bought for any sum whatsoever.

I'd say this is shocking, but it really isn't.
