RE: The Value of Negotiation; What You Should Know About Negotiating
I am a very poor negotiator. Fortunately at our latitudes the prices are most of the time fixed and it's not necessary to define the price. When I visit my wife's family in Turkey it's another thing. When it comes to negotiating a price they ask me to shut up. First reason is that from my accent they induce I'm foreigner and then I get special prices and the second is that I have no experience in this "sport" ;-)
Amazing... in my country, men are given exorbitant prices while women are believed to be conversant with the market. So as a man, you have to be very good at bargaining so as to get a win win price.
That of doing "special prices for tourists", which is the same as saying "selling more expensive to tourists", is a bad thing that I also have to see for my latitudes. It is a problem because it harms tourism and creates a bad reputation for exploitation against tourists, by charging them with prices that are not valid for anyone else.
