Bargaining

If you're going to buy anything in south east Asia, get ready to bargain. It's something you'll get to really like although as a tourist you can only expect so much of a reduction - we still get a little ripped off. That said I'm managing to get about 1/2 or 1/3 of the original offer price now. At the very least you feel good about your purchase, safely fooled into thinking you got a good deal :-).
