Other customers were shocked to see the prices marked on the chocolates on eBay, with prices going for as much as $50 each.
‘I found where some of the supermarket stock has disappeared to: eBay,’ Hugh said.
‘It’s disappointing there are so many unscrupulous people out there (hoping naive buyers will pay a premium not realising it’s available in supermarkets again).’
Sarah said: ‘I really hope people aren’t that naive. I’m just stashing mine to eat or make it into other delicious things.’
Bree said: ‘These sellers really need to get a job.’

Many shoppers have spotted other customers bulk buying the products.
‘Came to Woolies to find all Caramilk gone. One lady just bought 17 blocks! Like… c’mon. Are you going to eat 17 blocks?’ one customer said.
‘I had to literally beg, with another random Caramilk addict for just a block. The grocery manager let us have two blocks each. Grateful – yes. Annoyed – yes.’
And Jannette joked: ‘Caramilk, there must be more in consumer cupboards than on the shelves.’
