A Typical Vendor

This is an example of a vendor in the Old City in Jerusalem. As you can see they offer several things and lots of them offer the same thing, which is why "bargaining" or "haggling" is the rule of the day. If they don't have what you want "their cousin" down the street does. Or, they make a phone call on their cell phones and give you a new price.

Some people love the game of bargaining but for me it is very stressful.
