I learned to pick up an item, set it back down and start walking. The proprietor would pick up the item and chase me, and as we walked the price came down, lol. I absolutely hate haggling. It was a relief to come across a Coptic shop where prices were generally marked firm and I didn't have to haggle (of course, as a result, I may have paid more. Who knows).

I approve this message Haggling is one of my favourite pastimes in the whole world! Fixed prices, both in Morocco and in Egypt don't mean that at all. It just puts some people at ease. Usually, you can still haggle the same as the non-priced shops. I love it. I approve your message too. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also haggled in Spanish and Thai, it's fun in any language. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
