is to go below half of what they ask so for instance they say 100,000 for a shirt go to 30,000 and start from there and usually its always half and under or a bit over. Pay what you think its worth. Always take a converter with you. So just find out the rate and make a small spread sheet so you dont get confused with the rate. do it from $1 = 7800 $2= 15600rp and so on up to $20 they go by tens. fold it up and put it in your wallet. You cant go wrong with this method and you know whether your paying to much instantly. Hope this helps
