According to Lao Dong reporters at 9am on December 28, at some gold shops in Hanoi, many people lined up in front of the door waiting to buy gold rings. However, most of the shops announced that they did not have SJC gold bars and 9999 smooth round gold rings.
Ms. Nguyen Linh Ngoc (Ba Dinh District, Hanoi) - a customer who came to buy gold rings at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street - shared: "This morning, I came to the shop before it opened to wait to buy gold rings. However, there were already a lot of people lining up in front and the staff did not announce when the sale would be held, so I decided to go home."
Ms. Pham Ngoc Han (living in Hai Ba Trung district, Hanoi) also encountered a similar situation when she wanted to buy gold rings.
"Recently, the price of gold has been increasing continuously, so I want to buy some. However, buying gold rings at this time is difficult because you have to come at the right time when the store opens for sale. If you can catch this time, the gold shop has a rule that each person can only buy a limited quantity, depending on the day.
In addition, there are many people coming to buy so they often have to wait in line for a long time. Currently, I am still waiting for the store to announce the sale" - Ms. Han said.
An employee at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi) said: "Currently, the shop is out of plain round gold rings and SJC gold bars and we don't know when there will be more. Therefore, we cannot announce the exact time of opening for sale to customers."
