I have read a few posts re start at less than 30% of their opening price, etc, but can forumites give me an indication of where I should end up - ie half their opening price?? more? less?.

Also what can I bargain on and what not? I take it there is a lot of play in stall/market prices, some in transport costs, what about food & drink - is that fixed price?

Any hints on what guidelines others use would be appreciated, I want to pay a fair price for both the seller and myself. tks
