In Indonesia, there are so many tradional market. If you’re an Indonesian, then you already knew about it, but if you’re not, then you should come to this market. You can buy anything you want, merchandises, clothes, and other things with low price, but one thing you should know, it’s really crowded over here. Maybe you’ll walk through paths between small stores, and you’ll get tired and feel hot. It’s okay, just think that it’s a kind of doing sports hehee..
Remember, in this kind of market, you have to mastering “the bargain skill”, if not, then you’ll spend high cost to buy a thing. Here, I’ll tell you the steps how to bargain at the traditional market.
- Go to the store and choose what you want to buy.
- Ask about the price. Of course they will give you high cost, commonly twice than the original price.
- Ask them about the standard price, maybe you need to say like this, “’how much is the lower cost?” (bahasa Indonesia: harga habisnya berapa?)
- If you think they still give you high price, then you say how much you want to pay for that thing.
- If they refuse to give you their thing with the price that you offered, just use this trick PRETENDING THAT YOU AREN’T INTERESTED ON THAT THING AND LEAVE THAT STORE SLOWLY. I’ll guarantee you they will call you back, they’ll offer you their lowest price. Then you can bargain it a lil bit more. Voila! There you go… You’ll get the thing without spending lots of money :D
