Car Trunk Commerce
The most common medium for selling apples and pomegranates in the back alleys of Baku is the trunk of a car. My guess is that there is probably an incredible quantity discount when purchasing a trunk load, or backseat-load.
The vendors must drive into the countryside into the morning, load up the car, and then make their way back to their designated selling spot by the afternoon. What I wonder about is spoilage problems. With so many people doing this, and the demand for the product likely not meeting the supply, what happens to all the apples that don't get sold?
I suppose if I see apple pies being sold in the same fashion, I'll have my answer.
