Whilst I don't condone rudeness, haggling is part of the game.

Keep in mind the traders do make a whopping profit from the odd green gringo (ie rip them off). Last time we were there some poor dumb teenager paid $50 for a $3 watch. The con artist assured him it was a real Rolex and even supplied him with guarantee papers.
