A free album by Prince has been hitting eBay as entrepreneurs see a way of cashing in on the Daily Mirror giveaway.

EBay sellers have noticed a great way to make a quick buck from Prince's new album, it is reported.

The singer's latest ten-track album was given away for nothing with the Saturday edition of the British national newspaper the Daily Mirror, as well as Scotland's Daily Record.

Since then, the Mirror reports, copies of the CD have been going for $22 (£14.60) on sites like eBay. Currently it seems you can pick up the album for about £2.

Another member of pop royalty, Elton John, even got in the on the action, ordering five copies of the paper and the free CD to be sent by courier delivery to his home.

In a similar move to the release of his 2007 Planet Earth album, the singer claimed that the reason behind the giveaway was because "the internet's completely over".
