Someone bid S$1 for stall at Commonwealth Crescent Market, but supposedly withdraws over 'lack of footfall'

Someone put in a bid of S$1 for a stall at Commonwealth Crescent Market.

However, they supposedly quickly retracted the bid, citing the "lack of footfall" in the area as the reason.

Checks by Mothership confirmed that two S$1 bids were placed for two neighbouring units at Commonwealth Crescent Market, 01-059 and 01-060.

Simultaneously, S$2 bids were also placed on the same units.

Speaking to 8world news, a vendor at Commonwealth Crescent Market claimed that the person who put up the S$1 bid retracted it due to the lack of footfall in the area.

"It's quiet here and there aren't many people. It's an elderly estate," the hawker said.

"I hope more people come to this market because the goods are fresh," he added.

On the other hand

Meanwhile, hawkers' stalls at Maxwell Food Centre drew bids of S$3,000 to more than S$6,000.

A hawker tendered a S$3,055 bid for unit at Jalan Besar's Berseh Food Centre, setting a record for the highest bid in the food centre.

The high bid drew worry from other hawkers, who were sceptical that the store would survive for long due to high operating costs.

"It's definitely not possible. We have been doing this for a long time. if you are new, it will be difficult," a hawker told 8world.
