Is it rude to barter or negotiate prices with vendors at the local market?

0

It is not rude to negotiate with vendors at the markets. They will generally be flexible on their prices and may even swap their crafts for your clothes or other items of need if you are willing. However, many locals do suffer from severe poverty in this region and unemployment rates are extremely high – it is therefore important to stop negotiating cheaper prices when you feel you have reached an appropriate price for an item being sold. Continuing to press for cheaper prices beyond this point often means that you end up taking advantage of the local people’s poverty and desperation.
