RE: Living in Beijing Series: The Art of Haggling
Haggling is quite common here in Pakistan too and I just cannot purchase anything from a local market without haggling haha and I am good at it too. I enjoyed this post for several reasons. First, it describes a cultural phenomenon. Second, it is different than what I have been reading today. Third, you gave honest and helpful advice to help people out with haggling. I'll be featuring your post in my curation post today and resteeming it too.
it is indeed an art, not many are good in it. I have to admit i don't enjoy haggling because it takes time. unless i do not have a choice. My mom however, haggles everything even for 10 cents!
Haha good to hear that about your mom. I enjoy haggling but not always. There are somethings I know there is no point to haggle over. My mother is like yours too- she haggles for everything even when she know the price is right.
