Bargaining Like a Local in Mumbai, India. 🇮🇳
Mumbai is an overpopulated and noisy city with street markets everywhere. There's barely enough space for people to walk and cars to move but you will find many vendors who have set up shop right on the street. It's the perfect city for a fun shopping adventure.
As in Sri Lanka, it's easy to find knockoff versions of branded goods for sale at cheap prices. Vendors will try to charge you double what a product usually sells for so some hard bargaining is a must. For some people that may seem like hassle but for me there's something satisfying about scoring a "Nike" backpack for $3.50 after some tough negotiation.
During my street market spree I came across some delicious looking street food. My instincts told me it was a bad idea but a local woman assured me it was safe. It was just some fried potatoes and chickpeas in a tomato sauce. Can't go too wrong with that, right?

One piece of advice is always to stay alert and watch your things just for a safety concern that's it, rest you have handled things very well and yes people will keep following you to try their best to sell their products so when someone does say (Nahi Chaayay ) "I don't want" coz someone of them don't understand English. Yes you have to stick with your price which is in your mind if they say no then move the next person as you did with buying bags. Info for the video which you uploaded was for Majid Bander station if you don't know how to find location what you can do is use Google Maps. Appreciate you mate! You have traveled to the most local place wow impressed.

@Dale, In india, there is an unofficial fee known as 'Hafta (As in week in english)' that you have to pay to the Police/local politician on a weekly basis, irrespective of whether you're a licensed or illegal hawker. The policeman was basically demanding 'hafta' which the hawker refused. So he just took that cloth forcefully as an alternative to Hafta. What you did was correct as getting yourselves involved with the police is as good as getting yourselves thugged. P.s. there are exceptions though.
