Unlike Singapore and Thailand, buying iPhone 14 in Hong Kong (China) is much easier. Therefore, after “hugging” the goods, many people decide to sell right on the sidewalk near the Apple Store to make a profit. After buying and selling it right away, you can earn 2,600 Hong Kong dollars in profit (ie 7.8 million dong).

But very few people can pass here, because the people who come to Taiwan to buy goods are usually big merchants with capital potential.
