We are 'curious' about their happenings and we really do not know what the happening is.
It is in fact a stall (Stall A) selling secondhand stuffs, like pots and pans, audio equipment, electrical appliances, clocks and etc.
This does have a great impact on me and we have to sign with regret when we are in this stall. We do not expect old stuffs (there is no guarantee that they must work and be functioning) will also be welcome by the locals. In Shum Shui Po, we can see the living of some general public from another angle. FYI, Shum Shui Po is a district where the people earn the lowest average income in Hong Kong.
At another stall (Stall B), there is similar phenomenon. The locals are eagerly looking for their expected stuffs in mind, before the stuffs are unloaded from the trolley.
The secondhand stuffs include pots, electrical appliances, shoes, tennis rackets, light bulbs, tablewares, kitchenwares and ... .
And clothings, compact discs, toys, books, bags, ... .
At Stall C, all secondhand stuffs are displayed on the floor and under large sun umbrellas. The locals look around for a while and may have discussions about the property of their interested with the lady seller. Apliu Street Flea Market is a place to tell you more about Hong Kong. Some foreign visitors said they prefer Apliu Street in Shum Shui Po to Temple Street in Jordan.

Rental of a bed (berth) for male per month is HK$900 (US$115.38), including air-con and hot water. No commission is needed.
Lowest price for a room is HK$800 (US$102.56) per month. I guess this room has just 'let out'. This should only be a bait to allure enquiry.
