Turkish Bazaar Bargaining Tips
| Tips for Successful Bargaining |
|---|
| Start Friendly Always begin with a warm greeting like “Merhaba” or “Hoş geldiniz”. Building rapport can lead to better prices. |
| Examine Carefully Show genuine interest in the product. Ask questions about quality, materials, and craftsmanship before discussing price. |
| Never Accept First Price The initial price is almost always inflated. Politely say “Biraz pahalı” and ask for a discount. |
| Bulk Purchase Advantage Mention you’re buying multiple items to get a better deal. Say “İki tane alacağım” to negotiate a lower price. |
| More Bargaining Strategies |
|---|
| Cash is King Always mention you’ll pay with cash (“Nakit ödeyeceğim”). Sellers give better discounts for cash to avoid bank fees. |
| Be Willing to Walk Away If the price isn’t right, politely thank the seller and start to leave. Often they’ll call you back with a better offer. |
| Stay Polite & Positive Bargaining is a social interaction in Turkey. Keep smiling, be respectful, and maintain a friendly tone. |
| Ask for Packaging After agreeing on price, ask “Paketler misiniz?” Most sellers will include gift wrapping for free. |
