[quote=LEMONCACTUS             ,31996]I love buying the tiny Chinese knots and little good luck trinkets. They are cheap and easy to send abroad to friends/family and feel really 'Chinese'. I also like paper cuttings and jade.Sometimes bargaining is fun but after a year and a half I find myself getting a bit tired of it. I have found my own way of bargaining. As I am not good at hiding my feelings about something, it is no good me pretending that I don't love an item in order to get the seller to reduce the price. Instead I am open about the fact that I really love it/want to buy it but remain clear in my mind what I am willing to pay. If the seller refuses I walk away, always insisting how much I love the item... usually they will call me back, he he!! ;)I think the only way to avoid buying fakes is to go to a department store. You will pay the usual big money for the real thing, but can still bargain. I did for my North Face hiking boots.Tourists will pay a lot more for something because $ or £ etc are worth so much more than RMB. Those of us earning RMB must bargain all the harder :)[/quote]
