Its Turkey - you can haggle for anything, if you got the bottle

Personally i get a bit embarrassed, and prefer everything to be priced up -which there seems to be more and more of these days - even seen some jewellery shops with everything priced up last year.

I have heard of people bartering in restaurants - maybe for a free kids meal if there is a group of you - I dont know about anyone else but i wouldnt dare ask for a free meal - Fair enough if offered by the waiters trying to entice you in - would take up there offer - but wouldnt ask

Supermarkets are a no no - Things are all usually priced up!!

Shops around the resort offering all your usual fakes are open to offers - As are the market stalls and Bizarre. Also trips - haggle for these, the more you book the cheaper you will get them (though at offer price of a full day out between £5-£10 including lunch, bargain already!!)

What are you looking to buy?? If you let us all know - We can give you guide prices on what we have paid so far this year??

Cheers

I was thinking of haggling for things in general, like clothes, food/drink etc.

But cheers leighanne you've more or less answered everything I wanted to know, I am definately going to try it this year.

Thanks.

Hiya,

I was in Marmaris in June for two weeks, I went to the Bazar to buy two football tops for my son and my grandson, the shop keeper had them in the bag before I asked the price, when he said 85ytl I replied no! He then asked how much I was willing to pay I replied 40, he said no so I walked out of his shop he then shouted something after me but I just refused to go back, I went to a shop in Armatulan area the shop keeper there asked for 40 ytl for the same goods and I didnt even barter with him I was delighted with the price. It amazes me that they charge the same price for clothes for a year old child and xxl.

wgipk.

a good tip for bartering is to start at less than half price. the turks get a macho kick out of selling for inflated prices.Jewellry and leather are prime examples. Shop around is the key thing...get a good idea of whose charging what. The season is not good here but the pound is so you guys have the power.
