Man Livestreamed Himself Selling 10 Durians in LCK Cemetery; Got Record Views & Sales

Live auction on Facebook live is now a thing in Singapore.

Wang Lei has created a profitable business out of it. Tekka Market is now officially Tekka Facebook Live Market.

But here’s the thing: as more people dive into the market, it gets a tad more competitive.

And so, how do you stand out from the competition?

Be different.

And that’s what I-deal Trades did.

Man Livestreamed Himself Selling 10 Durians in LCK Cemetery & Got Record Views & Sales

A check on I-deal Trades Facebook Page shows that the seller has been selling primarily seafood, just like Wang Lei.

However, yesterday (17 June) at 9:30pm, the seller, who is allegedly 29 years old, decided to do a surprise livestream at Lim Chu Kang cemetery selling durians.

Initially, he had said that the reception in his farm was bad, which explained why he was in Lim Chu Kang cemetery to do the livestream.

But later, he admitted that it was a dare.

The one-hour-plus video feels like a Wang Lei video as people asked silly questions like what the gender of the durian is and whether the durian can wear any clothes.

Halfway through the livestream, he even saw a car, which he thought was a police car.

It turned out to be someone else in the cemetery. One can only wonder why there are people there (if they were humans, that is).

And to make it even more interesting, he even shared ghost stories (albeit rather baddy ones that are funny instead of scary).

In total, he managed to auction the 10 durians for over $600—much better than the $400 he had expected.

During its peak, there were a whopping 1,400 concurrent viewers—a record for him since his usual livestreams get about 100 concurrent viewers.

Day Job in the Funeral Industry

In an interview with Wanbao, the man said that he had a job in the funeral industry, and would do gigs in bars at night.

However, during this COVID-19 period, the bar is closed so he has to find other sources of income.

And with this success, they’re going to do another live auction at East Coast this Saturday.
