Personally, I always find I can get a much better price from the busier stalls/markets. Whenever I go to the back street stalls with few tourists, they want much higher prices and I cant bargain down. I figure they don't sell much so they need the higher prices just to make a living. The larger busier market areas have a higher turnover and seem to be willing to drop prices a lot lower.
Just my own experience.
P.S. : I love your "walking wallet" description. So true.
