Haggle for it, and walk if they won't move

“Saying a lower number out loud feels rude, like breaking a rule everyone else agreed to. At a stall that sets its own prices, it is just the other half of the conversation.”

The Recipe

  1. Find something you actually want at the nearest market stall that sets its own prices.
  2. Offer well below what's asked, and hold there without filling the silence.
  3. Walk away if they won't move, and be ready to keep walking.
