BTS member-made sold out merch resurfaces at whopping rates on eBay; fans demand action

Touted as one of the biggest bands in the world, the South Korean boy group BTS is known for their tendency to set benchmarks in every field they venture into. Comprising of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the band recently dropped their merch line including products like self-designed bags, guitar pick necklaces, pyjama sets and more. It wasn't a surprise when these products appeared sold-out on websites minutes after being launched considering the enormous fandom spread across the world eager to support the band. 

BTS member, V's self-designed bag reportedly made history after becoming the world's fastest bag to get sold out as fans bought it within seconds. However, a few fans noticed that the sold-out items were being sold on another website at an exorbitant price rate.
