Bargain


There are so many large markets and stalls for different goods with very low price for you in China.The price of goods there can be bargained.But the priority is: you must have a good standard to estimate.

For example, you wanna go shopping in the Qipu Rd. in Shanghai,there are different styles of goods with different quality and price.

You may see some buildings with many divided little shops in it.Some are for shoes and some are for clothings.

Goods of shops in which price hasn't been marked or you don't see the tags with"no bargain",etc.can be bargained.

Let me introduce the procedures for you:

Fetch the goods you enjoy and ask if you can try on.

After that if it suits you,please don't let others know you wanna take it or you like it much.Or the salespeople will give you a higher price.

Ask the salespeople carelessly:

How much is it?

1.If he/she give you a low price,for example: 30 yuan for a T-shirt.

You may ask:

Can you give me a lower price?

If they say no,you may take it,too.

2.If he/she give you a high price,for example: 150 yuan for a T-shirt.

You may ask:

If the second bid is also high for you,you may go on your bargain:
