I am not normally a haggler (I cant even try it at flea markets) but without even knowing it, the first night in Playa, I found some sterling bangles at one of the nicer silver shops around 5th. Originally, she wanted $40 USD a piece (I wanted ten, some for myself and some for gifts...) and there was no way I was going to drop $400. So I made an offer, and she refused (it was probably around $20 each)...eventually I just figured, "Hey, it's my first night here, I'll find more"...well... I started to leave and the woman ran out of the shop to follow me, saying she'd take $15 a piece. Soo, regardless of whether or not I actually got a good deal, I felt accomplished and ended up paying $150 for all of them. Not too shabby for my first 'deal'
