... we've been to Bali 9 times since 1999 and in recent years have found that 7 times out of 10 at the other stalls you just can't bargain down to the same prices as at Ketuts - so having wasting 5 - 10mins we end up walking away from demands for ridiculous prices - not what I want to waste my holiday time on :-(
I have to admit I find it a bit bizarre that all the stall holders directly around Ketuts watch all the people coming & going & buying up large yet they won't sell at the same prices? Last year my husband agreed on a price for a shirt with one of them (after lots of pestering while he waited for me!) but when he got his money out to pay they suddenly back-tracked and wanted more! Needless to say they lost the sale - both that day and the 2 subsequent times we came back to Ketuts for more!
