[quote=APAULT,270435]Outside tourist areas you will not normally get ripped off - but you must undestand where and when to negotiate prices and what the price to locals is. I pay a little over the odds but I am nor normally ripped off. Tourist areas are more difficult, but mostly in many ways it is the ignorance of the visitor which is the issue. Don't expect great bargains in electronics. Margins are quite low on them even in China. As these are relatively high priced goods the cost of transport overseas is a small part of total cost, and with just in time buyinging, there is little difference in prices overseas. If you want to buy substantial amounts in Guangdong, I have a good friend who will help you for a very moderate fee...msg me if u want.[/quote]
