Shoppers hoping to make a sweet profit are cashing in on Allen’s new Mini Chocolate Raspberries on eBay for more than three times the retail price.
One Sydney opportunistic consumer has listed three of the $4.50 packet of lollies online for an inflated price of $50 after the product sold out at multiple stores within two days of launching.
The mini bite-size raspberry lollies with delectable milk chocolate hit shelves at Woolworths store last week – but some customers are reporting they are now struggling to get their hands on the now sought-after product.

However, there are still stock available for sale at some stores around the country, include in New South Wales and Queensland.
Anyone looking to stock up before they miss out can find the lollies at Sydney’s Town Hall, Port Macquarie, Gosford, Mount Annan, Keperra or Chancellor Park.
The low stock comes just days after the Australian confectionery brand launched the new range after giving its iconic raspberry lollies a chocolate makeover.
With no artificial colours or flavours and 100 per cent gluten free, the much-loved raspberries have been coated with delectable milk chocolate.
