Bargaining Tips

Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar with it we'd like to offer you some advice, the tips here may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced

DO NOT say how much you want to pay for an item unless it is near the end of the process. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price

DO KEEP smiling throughout. the seller is much more likely to continue bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry rarely gets you the price you want.

BE AWARE the initial price offered by the seller is usually at least 40% over the general price acceptable. It can be up to 500% over.

DO have an idea of what the item is worth. You can ask friends, relatives and confirm the price

DO walk away once you've given them your final price, even before. If you get called back, you know you are close. If you do not get called back, go to a similar stall and try again with a slightly higher price

Your best bet is to keep repeating the phrase "cheaper" to them as much as you can before revealing your price.

Once you've decided the price, you then tell them a figure about 40% of the price you're willing to pay, then go up in 5% increments until they give in.
