A craze for Wetherspoons merchandise has staff selling discontinued sauces, menus, old uniforms and more on eBay.

Customers keen to emulate the ‘Spoons staff chic look can even buy t-shirts advertising their £6 chargrilled chicken.

Fans of the beloved pub chain have offered to pay for the products with one even claiming they would ‘literally bid a grand’ on their favourite sauce. 

Staff have reacted in hysterics to the opportunist sellers, saying in a Facebook discussion: ‘Let’s profit on this s**t’.

Other real-ale festival shirts by the company are some of the priciest options, including one from 2019 for £10 and another for £9.

A cider festival shirt advertising up to 16 options is also up for grabs for £15.

One seller listed a one litre bottle of the pub chain’s now discontinued Chipotle mayo is currently on offer for £12.35. It is being sold on the site as a ‘brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item.’

The best before date – showing it went off in March 2021 – is also pictured. The seller alleges the best before date means it is still edible, but must be refrigerated once opened.

On top of the £12.35 price a buyer would have to pay £4.65 for delivery and the seller will not take returns.
