Excuse me, could you please elaborate on the process of bargaining in Hong Kong? I've heard that it's quite common in the local markets and shops, but I'm not sure how to approach it without seeming rude or offensive. Are there any specific etiquette rules or phrases I should be aware of? Additionally, how much should I expect to negotiate down from the initial asking price? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maintaining a friendly and respectful demeanor is crucial during the haggling process. This helps to create a positive atmosphere and encourages the vendor to be more flexible with their pricing.

Don't be afraid to make a low offer as a starting point. This shows the vendor that you're serious about negotiating and can help to bring the price down significantly.

If the vendor is not willing to budge on their price, don't hesitate to walk away. This demonstrates that you're not desperate to make the purchase and may prompt the vendor to reconsider their offer.

When haggling, it's essential to remember that the first price offered is rarely the actual price. Vendors often start with a higher price to leave room for negotiation.
