Ahead of the World Cup final last night between Argentina and France (which Argentina ultimately won via a penalty shootout after the score was tied 3-3 at the end of extra time), Adidas confirmed that they were facing a stock shortage due to the extraordinary demand for Argentina Jerseys.
Capitalising on the stock shortage, scalpers have taken to Carousell in Singapore to resell Argentina jerseys for up to $5,000.
Reuters reported that Adidas was facing an extraordinary demand for the jerseys and have very low stock available in some countries.
For context, an Argentina jersey for youths costs north of S$89 and S$115 for adults, according to Weston Corp’s prices.
However, prices on Carousell by resellers hoping to take advantage of the low stocks, are listed between $300 to $4,989.
