Ridiculous ebay homebrew listings

This is what, twice the price the actual beer was?

Is it just during lockdown that these kind of listings come up, or has it always been the way?

ebay has always been like that. I remember reading about someone selling cotton wool balls as , 'ghost poo'

Three worthless bottles who would sell these?

Look for seller bj-filters and their nylon bags.

The price of the Grolsch bottles runs the gamut of "free" to "obscenely priced." They are plentiful here in the US so I looked around. I paid $1.50/bottle last year which was a slight rip-off but I needed them badly at the time. I bought quite a few--60 or something like that. The ad said, "Super clean!" though they weren't. They're super clean now though.
Problem is I like how they fit in the milk crates.

I would suggest they are not being sold to home brewers, but to the pretentious for room decoration.

More to the point, who would buy them?
If someone buys them then they aren't worthless.

It also explains why you can pick up demi johns for nothing at the end of car boot sales, yet charity shops often have then at a higher price than new in a brewing establishment

The best e-bay sale, imo, was for an air guitar, complete with case.

A friend of mine once sold a blank piece of A4 paper on eBay, top bid was £3

One more bit of advice.
Never buy anything from ebay while drunk.
It will only end badly & consider yourself lucky if it only results in minor embarresment :)

Didn't someone say that grolsch is no longer sold in the UK? Perhaps explains it a little. At one point I had over 200 grolsch bottles. Think I have about 120 left and slowly getting rid. May start listing them.

This hurts, but on aliexpress.

I'd had a wild night out, Mrs went to bed and a month later 120 rubber ducks turned up.

My tip for any new nylon bag is to boil it in water for 5 minutes in a pan on the hob to get any manufacturing chemicals that might be left to come out. When I did it the boil water went a milky colour so there was something there that needed to come out.
