When i bought a batik painting at a fixed price shop in Yogyakarta, the seller asked if i'd come to his shop with a taxi driver or local person? When i said that i was unaccompanied, the marked price was immediately reduced by two thirds.
That was years ago but it's still part of the way things are often done in Indonesia
