Increasing mask exhibition on auction site before resale ban March 6 6:02
Resale of masks has been banned. Auction sites are increasing the number of masks they are trying to sell out before they can no longer sell, and it is expected that this will lead to lower prices in the future.
With the spread of the new coronavirus infection, serious situations continue, such as the lack of masks at medical and nursing homes, while masks that appear to have been purchased for resale are being displayed at high prices on auction sites.
For this reason, the government requested the site operating company to refrain from selling masks, but on the 5th, the government decided to further tighten regulations, prohibit resale according to law, and impose penalties for violations Was.
The resale ban includes online transactions such as auction sites and flea market apps, and is expected to be banned in the middle of this month after being specified by a Cabinet Order.
Under these circumstances, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the number of masks displayed on auction sites tends to increase.
We see that companies with large stocks are rushing to cash in to sell out before they can no longer sell.
A Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry official said, "I expect more masks to be displayed before resale is banned. It is expected that supplies will increase at a stretch and prices will drop."
