John had another experience of trying to bargain with a group of ladies " you buy from me only 200VDN". We decided all we wanted to pay was 100VDN and this bargaining went on for about 20 mins while we were having a cold drink waiting for our guide The difference in the final cost negotiation from 150 VDN to 100 DVN cost is a whole $3.50 but we all know John and it was not something we really needed to buy. But guess what we walked away and she kept following and John eventually won. See what happens when you are an accountant.Read more

TravelerDad just loves playing with them, often he bargains like that just see how low they will go, most times we don't need it so we make up some silly amount and if we get it it's a bonus and a very cheap souvenier
