Arabian Market

Is it true that when you go to markets in Arabian countries, when you try to cut a deal the dealer will make an incredibly high offer and you have to make an incredibly low offer and put in a lot of acting to get a decent price? Won\'t you offend a dealer if you the offer you make is too low. I heard that in chinese markets for instance if you offer a too low price the seller will be angry because you think his goods are trash... anybody know more about this?

I\'ve lived in China, and actually there it is the same as you described the Arabian markets above. You will not offend the seller by offering too little, though he will really act as if he is.

Sounds like a fun thing to do, I love trying to cut prices down and that stuff. Its just fun to see how far people will go. Just put pressure on them!! =)

I\'d probably just get ripped off all day, even when I think i cut a deal =/

hi all,
I am new in this forum. Currently i am not China but a friend of mine has lot of experience with Chines market trend. He is toy seller here in Dubai. he said about Chines market that they categories their products Like A Grade. B Grade. C Grade.
A Grade products prices are very high in Chines market and also in other countries.
B Grade products are little low prices and the C Grade products has really very low prices.
you offer them money they check the rang which are compatible with your price rang and then sell you the categorized product which match your offer.
