I told one very nice, bit pricey place that I wouldn't pay more than their internet price. They told me that price must have been low season, so I told them [truthfully] that I'd seen it only 3 weeks before. It worked!
Next time I go to Bali I'll have printouts of any hotel I may be considering showing their internet prices and that's where the bargaining will start. I'm not hard, I don't care if I have to pay that price, but I don't want to pay any more.
