 Traditions and customs

Haggling requires patience and tact. It is not only a matter of bringing the price down for the sake of it; take the time to talk about the object you wish to purchase and engage in chatty conversation so as to endear yourself to the vendor. It's the best way to obtain the object that you're after at the price you're after.
