Ebay sells out of their $99 Apple Airpods in 36 SECONDS during record Black Friday sale

Shoppers have been left furious after eBay sold out of its $99 Apple Airpods in 36 seconds when they launched across the Australian site as part of its ‘mega’ Black Friday sale. 

Thousands of customers failed to get their hands on a pair after the first launch of 100 units at 10am and many missed out a second time when another 100 were launched onto the website at 2pm. 

Those hoping to get their hands on discounted Apple Watches were also disappointed, with all 300 of the $299 bands selling out shortly after the 10am launch. 

All hope is not lost, however, with another 100 Airpods launching again at 6pm on Friday evening and another 300 at 10am on Saturday.

‘That was an Airpods bloodbath,’ said another.
