RITA: It will be good part time job with extra income - how much will you charge? Such skill should be capitalized on!

I don't know if it's too late to, but here are my recent experiences in bargaining...

Depends on where you go. If in China stores, bargain for 30-40 percent off. Like others say, try not to show much interest on that particular product no matter how much you love it. If YOUR price isn't met, walk away. If the merchance really want to sell, they'll chase after you. LITERALLY they'll chase after you and PHYSICALLY pull you back to their shop haha.

If you are in a tourist area selling items you see in most festivals or festival-like boothes, you can bargain up to 50 percent off. Again, try not to show any signs of interest and be critical about the items. Like someone mention here, Make sure they don't have another version of the same item because if you say your reasons for a lower price was that they don't have a particular size, color, etc and they prove they have...you have to pay the price they're asking. MOST IMPORTANTLY: DO NOT...AGAIN...DO NOT BARGAIN FOR A PRICE AND WALK AWAY AFTER THE MERCHANT AGREES TO SELL. You will be YELL at, force to leave the store and forbid to touch anything else OR be escort out rudely. Even after you're out of the store, you will be yell at for miles hahha. *This didn't happen to me, but I was there when someone try to bargain with a merchant* lol

Have fun bargaining!

The advice that everyone has gave you is good:) I have made so good deals by getting the lowest price and tell them "Awful" and walk away.Most of the time they will stop you and say OK.When this happens I offer a lower price that I will pay now..hehe..
