The New Retro 1994 Top.
Looking on twitter I came this post and this is something which has angered me because of the complete greed and selfishness that this person has shown.
Not only has it prevented a sale to a genuine fan who would have kept it safe as part of a prized collection of United items no doubt but they have the cheek to charge more than double the asking prize for it.
Obviously this is not an issue that affects just United but the greed and profiteering is thoroughly despicable and unforgivable as such individuals know there will be people who will be desperate to get such an item and pay the rip off increased price.

I don't have twitter so maybe I can't see what you're seeing,but surely if something belongs to someone they can put it up for sale at whatever price they want? Doesn't mean anyone will be daft enough to pay it,but it's still their prerogative to list it as they wish?

Re: The New Retro 1994 Top.
The retro shirts are just cheaply produced tat, I'd imagine everyone that wanted one that badly from United bought one, and for anyone who didn't there are more going sale next month. I don't think someone selling one on eBay for an exorbitant price is denying anyone a chance to buy one. I also don't imagine anyone will bid for it either, more fool them if they do.
The real profiteering is selling if for £45 in the first place.

Some chancer buying one then hoping a shirt collector thinks it either an original 94 shirt or doesn't realise you can still order one of the repro ones still.
