First, I wanna know if the first floorer is a foreign friend or a chinese, you are so smart, so familiar with chinese people and the domestic market. I am not good at haggling, sometime I hate it, so I seldom go to that place, just go to the supermarket, and go to the booth fetch what I wanna buy, then pay it. In the supermarket, neednot haggle. But my girlfriend like shopping in the wholesale market, and she has the patience to haggle. Often she bargain with the seller, she gets it.

The haggling way offered by the poster is great and creative,but i dare not to counter-offer 1/3-1/5 of the initial price,in that case,maybe the seller will regard me as an insane!in most place of China,count-off 1/2 of the orginal price is enough!
anyway,i prefer to purchase in franchise store where price is more reasonable!
