Bargaining is not a bad thing — every bazaar has its own way, and shopkeepers expect it. Just make sure to keep it reasonable.

Eight Easy Tips

  • Check prices first: Walk around two or three stalls before starting to bargain.
  • Don’t say yes to the first price: The first rate is always higher.
  • Set your own price: Instead of asking "How much will you give?", ask "How much will you sell it for?".
  • Buy multiple items together: The more you buy, the lower the price drops.
  • Show cash: Having money in hand speeds up the deal.
  • Give a hint you’re leaving: If you start walking away, sellers often call you back.
  • Talk respectfully: Harsh words won’t lower the price; the shopkeeper may get stubborn.
  • Shop at closing time: You get the best discounts just before the market closes.

How Much Discount to Expect

Every item has a different discount range. Check the table below for a quick guide.
