'Shockingly discounted' goods appear on many streets in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - The end of the year is the time when many roads and sidewalks in Nghe An become bustling because many small traders take the opportunity to sell their goods. This situation occurs commonly, causing traffic safety problems and the quality of goods is also not controlled.

| At this time, many forms of promotions, discounts on inventory, and liquidation appear densely on the streets, shopping centers, and rural markets. Makeshift stalls with advertising signs: "Discounted goods", "Year-end clearance sale", "Super cheap goods", "flat price 10,000 VND"... spring up everywhere.

| The items on sale are very diverse with clothes, shoes, household items... but the most popular are still autumn and winter clothes with "cheap as free" prices. From only a few tens of thousands of VND to over 100,000 VND, people can freely choose any type of clothing. Photo: Quang An |

| To attract customers, companies and small traders often choose intersections, three-way intersections, and major roads as their "working places" because there are many people passing by. Advertising billboards appeal to consumers' psychology of wanting cheap things, such as: "10,000 VND discount, bankrupt company needs money, one day only...". Photo: Quang An |

| Many cheap consumer goods are also sold on the sidewalks of Nguyen Van Troi and Quang Trung streets (Vinh City). Prices are listed on the goods for buyers to choose from. However, if customers bargain, the shop owners are still happy to sell to customers because the criterion is "clearing all goods as soon as possible". Photo: Quang An |

Through discussion, Mr. Nguyen Tat Thien - Captain of the Vinh City Urban Order Management Team said: The situation of dumping goods often occurs at the end of the year, when people's shopping needs increase. The subjects often choose the time to dump goods at noon or in the evening (outside of office hours) to avoid the authorities. We are currently focusing on launching a peak period to eliminate this situation, both helping people avoid poor quality goods and ensuring traffic safety and urban beauty for the city.
