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.
