One of our writers was at IMM yesterday trying to get some mosquito repellent home, only to find that both Giant and Watsons at IMM had run out of stock.
Not a big surprise considering how kiasu Singaporeans are. Remember last year where the haze was especially bad? Yeah, N95 masks were harder to find than Snorlaxes.
But this time, the reason why mosquito repellents are sold out might make you flip. Literally.
And we have these people to thank.
Carousell Flippers
Remember how NDP tickets were sold last year?
Something that was free, people started selling on Carousell at high prices. You could almost call it a black market, except that it was stopped before it could gain traction.
Well, this year, it’s mosquito repellent engineered by enterprising individuals who saw it as an opportunity to earn some money.
Check out their wares on Carousell.
From a few dollars profit
Â
To more than a few dollars profit
You get some that’s more than three times more expensive
Yes, two times. A bottle of this costs $8.10 on Redmart.
Well done.
At least now you know where to go when you really, really need insect repellent.
