hey! look at the SOP of bargaining in shanghai thought out by kenny sia:


(1) You spot the item you fancy, and you ask the vendor for the price.
(2) The vendor quote you a price, usually a figure ridiculously expensive for a counterfeit product.
(3) You mentally divide the price he gave you by 6, and suggest that price to him.
(4) He'll then proceed to give you this face like you insulted his grandmother's cooking. Smile as you admire his distorted facial expression.
(5) The vendor will give you 20% off his original price. This is your cue to reject him and tell him the final price you're willing to pay.
(6) Once again he'll kao peh kao bu and give you a lesson on cost price, selling price and the mechanics of retail. At this point, you walk away telling him you no longer want the product.
(7) Quietly count to ten and chances are, he'll chase you down giving you the product you want at the price you suggested at (5).

Guess it will be pretty useful since i'll be gg china soon. heh :)
