and majority of the time i walked away with exactly what i wanted at the price i wanted it...
i would half the price they would give me half it again half it again and the just one more time start with that never go more than double that.... hold the cash in front of them and say 1 2 3 dont want the money ok bye bye and they usually take the money...
one guy found me about ten minutes later and 1km up the road and said ok your price... i laughed so hard when he did that...
i was never rude or aggressive all in fun half the time the prices they were asking were ridiculous and i would nicely put it down and walk away....
shopping was my favourite part...
hope this helps
