Gold prices jumped by millions of dong early in the morning of November 18, while gold shops only sold in the afternoon. Staff distributed purchase coupons to 100 people within 15 minutes, with a limit of 1 tael per person. Some shops announced that they were out of gold.
From 7:30 this morning (November 18) at Bao Tin Minh Chau gold shop (Cau Giay, Hanoi), many people gathered outside, ready to wait for opening time to make transactions.
The gold shop staff announced that today the gold shop would not open for sale in the morning, but would open for sale in the afternoon from 1pm. However, many people still waited, hoping that the gold shop would suddenly open.
Ms. Oanh (Cau Giay) shared: “My house is all the way in Dong Anh, I have been waiting here since 7am. The store only opens in the afternoon, so I have to wait, because it is so far away, I cannot go back.”
The person who went with Ms. Oanh also said that yesterday they went all day but only bought 1 tael of gold, a bit disappointed because they had to put in the effort to buy such a small amount.
In the morning, many people came from far away to buy gold, but they all sadly turned back or wandered around the store waiting for opening time.
At 1 p.m., the staff said the gold shop had started selling, limiting each customer to 1 tael of gold and the form was still to take a number to wait for the transaction. Notably, within just 15 minutes, the number of people waiting had reached 100. The gold shop was already overloaded, and customers were even taken to the 2nd floor by the staff to wait.
15 minutes flew by, many customers were happy to receive waiting tickets, many others were disappointed and left because they were a few minutes late. Many people even held their food in their hands to run in to get a number.
Sharing with PV. VietNamNet, Mr. Vu (Cau Giay) said: “I am very lucky that my house is near the gold shop, I can come back at noon to eat and rest. When I saw the gold shop had signs of opening, I ran over. Many people waited since morning, but in the early afternoon they couldn’t get there in time to get a number and had to sadly return home.”
Mrs. Ha (Dong Da) confided: "My son and I went to buy gold together. I have some savings so I want to buy gold to save up. Today, we plan to buy at least 2 taels of gold."
Among the large number of people lining up, Ms. Mai (Cau Giay) was able to buy 3 taels of gold while the amount of gold sold by the store was limited to 1 tael per person.
"I take waiting numbers 10-15 people apart, for example I take 3 numbers 10, 20, 30,... about 10 people apart because I have to deduct the time to pay for the gold purchase, the staff is crowded so they don't pay attention, just have a waiting ticket and you can buy," Ms. Mai revealed.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hai (Thanh Oai) bought 1 tael of gold yesterday, with the intention of trading for the difference. However, today, seeing that the gold price was showing signs of increasing, he decided to sell it for fear of losing money.
“I brought it to the gold shop but sold it to outsiders for a price 500,000 VND/tael higher,” said Mr. Hai.
According to observations, many customers came outside the gold shop but had to return because of the “gold shortage”. In the parking area of the gold shop, many “gold brokers” appeared offering to buy gold from customers at high prices. Many people brought gold to the shop to sell but “fell” into transactions outside the gold shop because of the attractive profits.
Other gold shops on Cau Giay Street, such as PNJ, have also announced that plain round rings have been sold out for a long time and have not promised a date for opening. Some shops will let customers order gold and after 15-20 days, customers can pick up the gold.
Not only outside the gold shop, on online forums, many accounts post articles specializing in buying and selling gold in large quantities, customers can get as much as they want and will be traded with high profits. However, the risks are also great.
Today's domestic gold price, November 18, 2024, jumped sharply following the world gold price. By early afternoon, the price of 9999 gold rings at Doji was raised to 82-83.3 million VND/tael (buy - sell), an increase of 1 million for buying gold and 600,000 VND for selling. The price of gold rings at SJC was 80.9-83.1 million VND/tael (buy - sell), an increase of 800,000-1 million VND per tael.
The price of SJC gold bars also increased by a million dong, to 81-84 million dong (buy - sell).
