I generaly don't bargain if i feel the item is worthy for me and the seller is charging a resonable rates. I perfer to buy branded stuff but i will check for various discount schemes in my town. Last month I visited new delhi the capital of my country india. I was doing window shoping in a market while looking at price tags I was much confussed as the items were not of the quality they were charging for and came back without any purchase then in evening discussed that with my cousin that you told me that there will i find good stuff a resonable rates but the items were rated very high then he told me I forgot to told you that you will have to do a lot of bargaining with the seller usually ther put tags doubled the actual price and they sell it near about its 50 % its there policy. it was diffrent experience for me. what about you ? do you like bargaing i personaly find it irretating to bargain. Please share your views and experiences

Bargaining - At times you have to do that.
It depends.In malls I never make myself a clown.I bargain where it is most welcome.The road side hawkers.They like to bargain and we gain too.

I my country we don't do a lo of bargaining. We sometimes bargain when it is a private sale like a car or something else you are buying directly from the seller. I am not fond of bargainning anyways so it is a good thing.
