Hot tubs are being flogged on eBay and Gumtree for DOUBLE the original price
SOLD out hot tubs are being resold on eBay and Gumtree for double their original price.
B&Q, Homebase, Argos and The Range all sold out of the Lay-Z-Spa inflatable hot tubs after a spike in warm weather.
The company, which sells a range of different hot tubs starting from £449 to £1,199 on its website, has been forced to implement a queuing system to help cope with demand.
Now the hot tubs have resurfaced online again – but at double the price on reselling websites.

One sold on Gumtree nearly a month ago for £550.

One is currently on sale on eBay for £900 while one is on for sale at Gumtree for £750.
The Sun has contacted eBay and Gumtree for comment.
