These places must bank like no tomorrow. How much is a potato, 20 cents? 
Same with the roasted corn places..
Did anyone notice that new kernelled corn stand run by brown people? Looks disgusting..
Looks like they just steam frozen corn kernels and then add liquid/powder flavor

hurricane potato was very popular when it first came out~ now, it isn't special, but there are still people lining up for them. I would still get it but it wouldn't be the first priority

The only thing that interested me was a shop selling hd dash cams for $50 and $70 lol | Also, you can usually talk down the price too. Just let people know. They already making crazy profit. For example, a regular ipod shuffle = 39.99 + tax, if a vendor sells a fake china brand one that looks exactly the same for 15, they are still making $10+ profit. I actually know a place in China that make those for about $3~$5 canadian. Cellphone cases as well, they making $5~$10 profit per

honestly, besides food (and even this is debatable), none of the other stands at the night market were really worth the visit... I could go to ladies market at hk and get the same pieces of junk for 1/1000000000th the price. Yet, people still go and pay for it...
Perhaps this is a profitable opportunity for next year...

Not that I mind the admission fee (it's really a stupid head tax)
+1 to the organizers though they are smart cause they'll easily clear 1MM visitors this year EASY
That's $1 - 1.5MM in incremental cash revenue
