[quote=NEWBBIE,239100]Well, the best way to avoid being ripped off is to have a local to bring you along, though I'm also a chinese, the moment I open my mouth they can tell that I'm not local. Just to share a bad experience. While I was in Weihai at the Jetty to Liugong Island, (Weihai is supposed sell cheap fishing rods, especially at the Jetty cos there are many shops there and I suppose it rather competitive) hunting for a fishing rod, the 1st shop I approached quoted me RMB 250 for the rod, I went on to the 2nd and 3rd shop for quotes, cheaper as I went on. I finally bought it from the 5th shop at a price of RMB 120. And on my way out the 1st shop owner saw me carry the rod and asked me how much I bought it for and I said RMB100, to my suprise he said he can sell it to me at RMB 80. I bought another similar rod from him at RMB 80, planning as a gift for my brother. My question is why he has to quote me RMB250 at the very begining for something that he would sell at only RMB80? Isn't it too much?[/quote]
