The first shopping trip I was told to barter. I really didn"t want to because I told them it was too
expensive. The shop person would say "Give me a price." I wasn't very successful the first time but
the next time I went shopping I saw a carved wooden bowl I really liked. I asked, "How much?"
He said, "One hundred dollars". I said that is too much. He asked how much I would pay and I
said $30. Of course he said 'NO".
I went out of that shop empty-handed and the other shop keepers saw that. After that whatever price they
said, I said that was too much. Again, they wanted me to give a price and I did. I got seven gifts that day
for the prices I wanted.
So bartering does work.
