Sorry to hear about the problems with the other stallholders at Sindhu Beach Market. They do tend to be "pushy" at the best of times. I rarely buy from other than Jeny and Tootsie's as I prefer not to bargain also I know I'n getting it at a reasonable price. Tried a couple of other places who said they were as cheap but they weren't. My husband gets really upset when they keep on at him. You cannot buy from everyone. Sanur is has less tourists than Kuta and Legian. We do some shopping nearer our hotel, usually sunglasses and watches. I just wonder how true are the claims that they haven't had a sale for 2 weeks. If this is true it is a terrible shame but if they get too pushy I just won't buy from them. I don't bargain like I know some tourists do and they just do it to get it really dirt cheap. I like a bargain but fair is fair.
