Related: About this forumRussians try to sell Big Macs for around $36 each....
https://news.yahoo.com/russians-trying-sell-big-macs-122120599.htmlRussians are trying to sell McDonald's menu items online, following branch closures.
Popular items like Big Macs and McMuffins have been offered at inflated prices.
One listing on a classified ads website offered McDonald's packaging for up to $373.
Russians are attempting to sell McDonald's menu items online at highly inflated prices, following the closure of more than 800 restaurants in the country.
One Moscow-based seller advertised a Big Mac for the equivalent of around $36. The figure is based on exchange rates at time writing. In Russia, the burger would usually cost 135 roubles, or around $1, according to The Economist's Big Mac index.
Another seller recently posted a "McDonald's Breakfast," including McMuffins, potato pancakes, and sauces for around $18.
In a listing translated into English, the seller said they were offering the items to "those who want to enjoy the last taste of a bygone era."

of White Castle burgers now. Nothing to them but lettuce and bun. No wonder thy can have them on their app every
day to get a Big Mac free with one dollar purchase.
