My experience over the years of bartering in Bali is that whatever price they ask me for, I always start at 30% and end up getting it for around 50%. I think I'm pretty fair with the locals, where they make money & I feel that I've paid a fair price for the items. If the seller is rude or pushy, I'll barter harder & if I don't get the item, that's fine, but generally I will pay 50% of the original price at the most.
