In general department stores and large shops sell at fixed
prices although discounts can sometimes be given on certain
items if you pay cash. When shopping at markets, small stalls
and shops or from street vendors, bargaining is the norm.
Expect to pay around 10-40 percent less than the original
asking price - depending on your bargaining skills and the
vendor. (Read more...)
