Success! Honestly, I've picked up a few pretty good bargaining skills from my time in Shanghai. I mean, there is no way you'd buy anything in China without a bargain. Really the 2 main things you'd have to do when bargaining (anywhere) is 1) Insist on the low price, at the most, add 5 bucks or something. 2) Walk away. The "walking away" trick works everytime. I still remember there was this one time in Shenzhen where I wanted to buy a sweater but the price was way to high. All I did was move a foot and the lady immediately cut the price down and gave it to me. Well of course, if you spoke their language it'd be a pretty big advantage too.
So no way in hell are we going to pay $160 for a bag in Ladies' Market so we decided to try out the other stores, all pretty much ending up as the same conversation above until we visited this other store.
Bloody hell, when that price came out of her mouth, I immediately thought, "HOLY @#%$" and then she decided to lower her price (not much apparently) by asking us to give her a price. Any price. (Notice I bold that in the conversation, the intention would become clear in a minute) So I was thinking then, "$380, how the #$*& am I going to bargain?" So Lea tried $100 which immediately (I'm guessing) either 1) pissed her off so bad she started swearing and yelling out complaints because our price was ridiculous or 2) annoyed her that she took the bag out for nothing and had to put it back (it was really hot, weather wise.) and that we were'nt buying it after making her get up from her seat or 3) both.
