Visit by former Apple head to Istanbul
Tim Cook, who previously led the tech giant Apple, visited Istanbul. During his stay in the city, he purchased a carpet, spending $18,000 on it.
Version from local residents
In the comments, local residents expressed the belief that bazaar traders deliberately inflated the cost of the item. According to them, the price was marked up tenfold compared to the carpet's actual value. The reason for the sellers' decision is cited as their awareness that the buyer had sufficient funds.
Community observations
Internet users also drew attention to the possible motivation of the sellers. Speculations have emerged online that such a price markup was a form of revenge for the rising prices of iPhone smartphones.
