Bargaining For the Best Rates

Don’t settle for anything but the best. Traveling can be expensive so here are some tips that can help you get your dollars worth.


  • Avoid making purchases at congested tourist sites. Vendors at these type of locations are less inclined to give you a good deal.
  • Make inquiries to find the average price. If you can’t spare the time to discover the true value and quality of something, do you really want it?
  • Offering a price half what the seller originally offers and working up from there is not always a good strategy. Some sellers quote at ten times true value.
  • Presenting the correct amount you are offering in cash at the end of the bargaining deal might be you last ditch effort before you walk out of the store. if you are close, you probably have a good chance if it’s at the end of the day.
  • Involve a supposedly antagonistic partner that tells you in front of the shopkeeper that he or she does not want to you buy the item, or that you don’t have enough money for it. At that point you offer less than what is asked, but within reason. You might win.
  • If you are interested in buying several of the same item, buy the first one at the best price you can get. Find another shop with the same item, inspect the quality carefully and let it be known that you purchased the same item from another vendor. The second vendor will ask you how much you paid and may quote a lower price because he does not expect you to buy.
