Recorded by Lao Dong reporter at 11:15 on April 22 on Cau Giay Street (Hanoi), although the price of plain round gold rings increased sharply, many people still went to stores to buy.
However, the fact that stores limit the quantity of gold rings sold has caused difficulties for many people who want to buy.
Ms. Tran Thi Nhi (Cau Giay District, Hanoi) - a customer coming to a gold shop on Cau Giay Street - said: "At this time, it is very difficult to buy gold rings at gold, silver and gemstone stores. Many times before I could enter the door, the staff announced that the rings were out of stock.
Today, I continued to come back at 11:10, but the staff said the shop had run out of gold since 10:00. So I had to go home."
Similarly, Mr. Nguyen Duc Huy (living in Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi) also had difficulty finding gold rings.
Mr. Huy shared: "The shop announced that it had run out of gold rings at noon, so I had to go home. The staff said they would come back tomorrow, but I was not sure if I could buy them or not."
Meanwhile, Ms. Pham Thu Trang (Cau Giay District, Hanoi) is still waiting for her turn to buy gold at a store on Cau Giay Street. Ms. Trang said that she had to come early to get the serial number.
"I have been to this gold shop many times but have not been able to buy. This morning, I have been in line since 8:30 am and have received a voucher. The shop sells a maximum of 1 tael of gold per person. Currently, I am still waiting for the transaction turn" - Ms. Trang said.
