Yes I was at the shops yesterday and the same thing here, no toilet paper.
Shops in Japan, the US and New Zealand have also run low on the precious sanitary rolls.
You've got to laugh at the eBay price for 5 rolls . It reminds me of the Y2K apocalypse this stirred up fears that computers around the world would fail at the stroke of midnight. Planes would fall from the sky, power systems would fail,bank accounts would be wiped out and nuclear missiles would inadvertently launch.
Sorry but you are off the mark on this rare occasion, I spent 15 years with Toyota on the service side and have been in contact with numerous Corona's and have ingested about half a [Censored] of Corona lager in my time ( it would have been more but it's not that good ) without contracting the illness. I put this down to my regime of covering myself with toilet paper every morning before going to work which commenced as an apprentice in 1978. A lot of people have tried to put S%&t on me for doing this but who is laughing now !
BB, I guess there is a way of setting up a fake ebay ID and then not paying for it. For that sort of money you could just ring the factory and I'm sure they would deliver a truck load to your place. All they would need to do is ring a courier company, pretty sure they would be able to handle that sort of request
This is also prevalent here in the UK. It's a truly sad indicator of selfishness and greed which has been fuelled by social media.
I am ashamed to say it but on Wednesday it was reported by BBC radio that some moron with several trollies bought £200 of TP... absolutely mindless, I just wish I could meet him so I could punch that selfish F@@ker in the face!!
Ok so I have a couple of packets of TP in the store room downstairs as we usually do, I might try sticking at least one pack on ebay to see how fair dinkum this rubbish really is
G'day all A close friend from New Zealand told me that bottled water was also an issue there.
... I dont think the virus is spread through tap water
It's great that folks from overseas report similar stupidity.
Of course there are opportunists during crisis, but many others are just for fun. You have to laugh ... we have to laugh ... [Thanks Max for the humour and insight]
G'day all. No sign of this hysteria from the hoi polloi abating so far. The supermarket chains need to tighten the reigns to one per buyer. The mongrels will find a way around it bringing friends or family members but it will make them do the hard yards for it and discourage others. Four packets per buyer is near on useless. The government should try and step in and enforce rationing since the companies have been so lax.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
I don't think for one moment that the auction I put up here had a payment made at the end of it.
This is just everyone having a laugh at the sellers expense and having him try and get out of the Final Value Fee that eBay would be applying to this sale. They have changed how they apply fees to completed listings that don't have payment made in the end. It's a right royal pain in the backside. But in saying the above, anyone that puts a listing like this up deserves all the problems they are getting.
Cheers, BB.
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
My son wanted to list 24 rolls with a start bid of $24 to see if he could get a laugh but ebay wanted $15 so he could list. I will never list anything on ebay, they burnt me once and they will never get the opportunity again. New name they are calling this latest disease (panic buying) is Moronavirus
