Don't be shy in proposing what, to you, may seem a ridiculously low price for something in the market. The prices bear no resemblance to what you would pay at home. Enjoy the game. Some of your best memories will be the day you got the store keeper down to £1 for a set of three stone pyramids. Some of his best stories at home will be the day he only made 50% profit from you. But he didn't mind because you played the game. Have fun, join in the banter and start to walk away at least once during the process. Trust me, he will call you back!
