You should learn how to bargain if you go to Istanbul. You are going to be visiting the Grand Bazaar and you should know these 3 tips.
The Grand Bazaar is the most significant and oldest Bazaar in Turkey. It is in the European part of the city and has more than 4.000 stores among the 58 streets that its area has.
Every day more than three hundred people visit the Grand Bazaar to purchase everything, clothes, food, jewelry, gifts, or whatever you want. You can basically find everything over there!
Here, I learned the following 3 tips that are crucial to bargaining in the Grand Bazaar, since negotiations are a big big part of the entire experience.
1. Ask for the price.
2. Paying cash will help you.
3. Check in other stores before.
4. Ask for a discount (most of the time they start with the double of the rate so you can take up to 50% off)
Let me know, have you been in the Grand Bazaar? or maybe in other markets of this type elsewhere? Share your experience here with your tips!
