I like to get an idea of what approximate prices are.
I have bought heaps at Tootsies, Ketuts, Nyoman and Arinis fixed priced market stalls. They often have items for sale in colours/fabric/styles not quite to suit, so at least in knowing what the fixed price shop is willing to sell the item for, I can offer something reasonable in the bargaining process. When I am hot or tired or bit shopped out, I often cant be bothered bargaining from 150,000 down to the 'win win' price of 35,000 so are more inclined to offer 25 or 30 and happily get to 35,000-ish.
Whatever..... you do it your way and I will happily continue my way.
Its win win!
