Russians try to sell Big Macs for around $36 each....

https://news.yahoo.com/russians-trying-sell-big-macs-122120599.html

Russians 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."
