Only bought for 0.5 taels, many people left frustrated
As soon as he entered the gold shop, Mr. Nguyen Minh Son (Cau Giay, Hanoi) received information that each person could only buy for 0.5 taels and immediately turned around. Mr. Son was surprised by the peak increase in gold:
"Yesterday, the gold price was only at 98.8 million VND/tael, but now it has increased to more than 100 million VND/tael. More than a week ago, I also went to buy gold at this brand, at that time the store allowed me to buy a maximum of 3 taels but now I can only buy half a tael. The more people buy, the higher the price, sometimes the supply is not enough to meet demand".
Meanwhile, in order to save time, Mr. Luu Duc Hung (Ha Dong, Hanoi) said that after receiving the serial number 235 this afternoon, he and his friend went to solve personal work and will return later.
For Ms. Vu Thi Minh (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi), who lined up from 11am after more than 3 hours of waiting, she was able to buy half a tael of gold.
Ms. Minh shared that due to increased demand, the gold shop has increased sales on the 2nd floor to shorten customers' waiting time.
"When I arrived, I received the serial number 700 but after a while of waiting, a couple with an serial number of more than 500 left because of a long wait, so I asked for that number back from them. But this number of phieu also had to wait until the afternoon to have a trading turn. However, in the morning, people are allowed to buy 1 tael of gold ring, but in the afternoon the shop has decided to sell 0.5 tael to one person" - Ms. Minh added.
Selling people make a profit, others continue to wait to buy
Also at a gold shop on Cau Giay Street, Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan (Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi) decided to continue waiting for his turn to trade after many hours of patience in queue.
"I was at the gold shop on Cau Giay Street from 10:30 a.m. At that time, the number of votes I received was 704. Up to now, it is 14:35, and those who have been waiting since morning are still continuing to trade.
The large number of customers forced the store to adjust the purchase limit from 1 ring to 0.5 ring. However, because I had waited for too long, I still decided to wait so as not to lose the whole session - Mr. Tuan shared.
Besides those waiting to buy gold, Ms. Tran Thu Ha (Nam Tu Liem district, Hanoi) - a customer who came to sell gold rings - said:
In early 2024, I bought gold rings both as a store and as a profitable investment. At that time, the purchase price was about 73 million VND/tael. In recent days, I have been continuously following the price list, seeing that gold has reached 100 million VND/tael, so I decided to sell it to make a profit.
Ms. Ha also shared that if the gold price decreases in the near future, she will consider continuing to buy gold.
