The sport of bargaining makes for some fun banter, and in markets with no fixed prices it's a must if you want to pay a fair price for the goods that you buy.
Some may ask why it's worth my time haggling for the difference between a few pennies on a pair of knockoff Puma socks. Well anything is worth your time if you enjoy doing it.
I found that all the best deals in Sri Lanka were in Colombo in and around the Pettah area. In the largest market in Kandy the sellers were pitching their prices very high and weren't prepared to negotiate much.
In Kandy they were trying to sell fake Sri Lanka cricket jerseys for 1,800 rupees when the original one in the department stores costs the same. The same jerseys were on sale in Pettah for a starting price of 750 and could definitely be negotiated down from there.

Not a good match for Dale. Harald is such a whining bitch, always complaining about locals and he seems to have a big ego about himself just because he's from Norway. He might have expected something different about sri lankan girls too (this is not phillipine). And he always try to be bossy around locals. I mean he doesn't do anything bad but if you look closely, you'll see his bad mindset about sri lanka as a developing country. I hate that guy.

@@Dale_Philip I agree. Its wrong to charge more because of race. Its just plain racism. There are many Indians.Sri Lankans born in western countries and are rich, they dont have to pay "foreigner tax". Many Indians and Sri Lankans have more money than Dale, they dont have to pay rich tax. Only white man expected to pay "foreigner tax". Its wrong on many levels, and it encourages scamming in general towards even the locals. It encourages people to discriminate for other reasons too.

4:32 You didn't overpay mate. Last time I bought a t-shirt for something less than LKR1,000 was almost a decade ago. Btw my view is, it's worthy to spend twice for a durable one.

It's the same I think in all SEA you're expected to bargain, if you don't bargain you're not respected you're just a sucker. A lot of those knock offs they get really cheap less than 400LKR. I always try and get things for half the price they tell me and I'll come up a little if it's something I really want. That's a good rule of thumb and like you did don't be afraid to walk away. Good chance you'll get it for half price or at the lowest price they can give you from some one else. It's all part of the fun of shopping at the markets. Cheers

Good bargaining. You got better prices than locals. One thing to remember that these street vendors don't make big money , they just make barely enough to feed their families. We step into a big brand store and are prepared to pay big premium handing them a huge profit. Not all street vendors quote higher prices for the tourists. But starting the bargaining at 50% of the asking price is really something that I can't do. Good bargaining but remember that these guys makes barely enough money for the day.

@Dale Comparatively you got very good prices (I'm not sure about the quality), In Pettah .most customers are locals. Therefore profit margin is less. Thats why prices didn't change that much after bargaining.

And in Kandy it looks like they probably just buy from Pettah and try to sell at high profit to tourists in Kandy.
