Because there aren’t a lot of goods, the owner of booths don’t need to ship or sale goods early as flowers and domestic animals corners. Mr. Nguyen Hong Quan having sold old items for nearly 2 years old at Hang market said: “Although my house is near Sat Market, with small capital source I only retail some old and sundry furniture, and irregular volumes, I do not dare to hire booth here. Every Sunday morning, I sell old items at Hang Market”.

Each fair, people selling old furniture pay 5,000 VND for the local market ticket and extra cost of renting seats in doorstep of households in fairgrounds. The owners of stalls pay fees depending on are of stalls and the agreement. Averagely, one old items stall is under 2 square meters, with about 100 -120 thousand per month. For those stalls selling electronics using power of the household will have to pay more.

At 8 am, as usual, Hang market is crowded. Previously this road was only the space to park vehicles since there is corner for old items; each market session, streets in Hang market are always filled with people. The cars accidentally “falling into” this way can not move, despite loud honking.

Both buyers and sellers are happy
Because it is a market selling old items and do not pay too much money for business surcharge, so commodity prices here are much cheaper than in other business stalls. A new California karaoke machine is about VND 2 million, but the price of used goods being intact stamp of manufacturer is sold for nearly VND 500 thousand.
Apparently, you get what you pay for. However, this is a notable choice for customer groups with average incomes. Besides traders, some people aged nearly 70 still sell to enjoy their life. Their commodities are items, components seemingly only seen in black and white films of the last century as pedals, chain axis, fenders Phoenix bicycle, mechanical clock.

Mr. Hoang Van Duy, an owner of shall in front of the house no. 507 in Hang market said: “The highest commodity is only VND 20 thousands, the stall has about 50 items. Even, bicycle pedals are usually sold in pair, sellers ask to buy one piece, so there isn’t any profit. I am sitting here to sell, mainly looking for a place to exchange and talk with people. At home is so sad”. Mainly supply source of owners of second-hand stalls here are from people who sell junk, or purchase of acquaintances.

Mr. Hoang Van Duy added: “In the corners of old items, there are many salesmen used to be a mechanic, they can recognize items are still able to use. Many items which seem to be broken, but they pick them up, repair and resell”

However, the old and fragmentary items which no one wants to buy sometimes are difficulty to find. Nguyen Van Hung, who likes to collect antique bikes, in No. 229 of Mieu Hai Xa street cheerfully: “I’ve just found an intact motors generating power for bicycle lights, with VND 15 thousands. After long time looking, finally I found it in my “village market”. Maybe some people those in need to find old things like Mr. Nguyen Van Hung. And the area of market selling secondhand goods is increasingly wider, creating more jobs as well as attracting many people to the unique market session of Hai Phong city.
