Just hours after it hit newsstands in France, copies of the so-called
Charlie Hebdo “survivors issue” have begun appearing on eBay with sellers
charging many times their face value.
Shops in Paris are selling the magazine
for €3 (£2.30), but online listings are offering it for around in a direct
purchase for around €50 – and auction lot bids in the UK and US have passed
£500.
There has been huge demand around the
world for Wednesday’s edition, printed in an unprecedented run of three million
copies.
Its front cover carries a cartoon of a crying
Prophet Mohamed holding a sign saying “Je suis Charlie”, a response to the
killing of 12 people, including eight journalists, at its Paris offices.
