A

Bargaining is an art at Xiu Shui Market inBeijing. The following tips can help you get good offers for most things youbuy, especially for clothing.

Be aware that the starting price offered bythe seller is at least 40% over the general price acceptable. It’s usually 80%over. It can be up to 150% over. So, always try to drop the seller’s offeringprice as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.

Have an idea of the value of what you want.You can consult your Chinese friends or the hotel staff about the price. Youmay not be able to get the lowest prices stated at Xiu Shui Market, especiallyon weekends or festival seasons when there are lots of tourists around.

Do walk away once you’ve offered your finalprice while the seller is not ready to accept. If you get called back, you knowyou are close. If you do not get called back, go to a similar stall(摊位) and try again with aslightly higher price. Note that if you’ve made a deal, you am then expected tobuy the item.

You will help your chances at getting agood price by being confident, patient, and friendly. Treat it as a kind ofgame to get the most out of it—getting angry or rode will never help to bringthe price down.
