Affect luke warm interest(at most) in said desirable object.
Attitude... ah well..it's OK but I'm not that a**ed about it.
In Turkey we were told to come in at about 1/3rd price and expect to pay 2/3rds.
I'm talking souk,bazaar,market here.
And also remember you are bowing to local custom, where folks expect to haggle..when in Rome...
It can be fun..so I spent 5 mins extra buying my husband 3 shirts in Turkey and saved a whole £8...55 TL insted of 75TL..it was expected of me. And you know when they'll go no lower..there's stubborn look appears in those eyes. But you can try walking away and hope they come after you..that tended to work in North Africa but it's very hard to turn around if they don't!!
As to costume buying at a costumiers that's a whole different ball game and I would imagine unless you are a dealer, the designer probably quotes what s/he wants. I bought in Egypt from Mahmoud's and he doesn't haggle. BUT he does take plastic.
