BARGAINING TECHNIQUES
Bargaining is a way of life in Mombasa so, naturally, the prices you will first be offered may be higher than the amount the seller really expects.

- There are no certain rules about how much you can reduce the price by.
- Do not feel embarrassed by offering less than you feel the article is worth.
- Do not start by offering the price you eventually mean to pay, because the owner will not feel he has made a good deal.
- Try aiming to reduce the price by two-thirds, so start even lower.
