The most effective is to ask the seller" 你最低多少钱卖(Ni 3 Zui 4 Di 1 Duo 1 Shao 3 Qian 2 Mai 4)? It refers to "what is the minimum price?" Usually, the seller asks you "你给多少钱 (Ni 3 Gei 3 Duo 1 Shao 3 Qian 2)?" In English, how much are you going to pay? In this case, don't tell him how much you are going to pay because he is trying to know your bottom line for the price. Just let him tell you his minimum price and then see if it is suitable. If not, bargain wih him.
