Tip 1: Don't be afraid to bargain
No that purse does not really cost 1,000 yuan! When shopping at the various markets in Beijing do not be afraid to counter a high offer with a much lower price. Start your bid at around 10% to 20% of their first offer. Having the exact amount you are willing to pay in hand is often a good tactic. If they do not accept, walk out. They will most likely call you back. A good rule of thumb is to never pay more than half of their initial asking price.
