Recorded by Lao Dong reporter on November 11, at some gold shops on Tran Nhan Tong street (Hanoi), the situation of people lining up to wait for transactions still occurs continuously, despite the domestic price of plain round gold rings and gold bars continuing to increase.
Many people are willing to wait for hours to buy gold rings and gold bars.
Ms. Ta Minh Trang (Hai Ba Trung Ward, Hanoi) - a customer waiting to buy gold rings - shared that she had come here since 8:30 am, when the store had not yet opened to queue.
"Yesterday, I also waited here since morning but could not buy, I heard that at 2pm they opened a maximum of 5 taels for 1 person. This morning we continued to wait. I waited for more than an hour, not knowing if the store would sell them or not" - Ms. Trang said.
She added that at the store where she is waiting, although it has not yet opened for sale, the staff informed that each customer can only register to buy once per 5 days, depending on the amount of gold sold per day.
"If I can't buy today, I will come back another day to continue waiting because the price fluctuates continuously, afraid that the future will increase even more" - Ms. Trang shared.
Similarly, Mr. Le Van Cuong (Bach Mai ward, Hanoi) also sought to buy gold to store at a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong street (Hanoi).
"I buy gold as savings. In mid-January, I bought 1 tael for 86 million VND. For a few months now, I have just returned to buy more and saw quite a lot of people lining up. I waited for more than an hour without knowing if the store would sell them or not" - Mr. Cuong said.
