Philippe BossinNovember 13, 2014When negotiating a good price, start below half of the shopkeeper's opening bid.
Grand bazaar in Istanbul is the biggest old bazaar in the world, with over 3.000 shops !
Hibri MarzookJune 3, 2013Good experience. Although the shops sell the same tacky touristy stuff. When bargaining start very low. It's already overpriced.
Erica ManssourMarch 17, 2014If you dont have patience for bargaining look for shops with "fixed price" sign.
Olmedo MirandaFebruary 1, 2016Not my thing. The stores repeat themselves. If you look hard enough you might find good deals!
Natalija UgrinaOctober 30, 2013I feel it's more expensive than other places.Definitely good for jewelry- Very crowded. You can find some good deals but also be easily ripped off.
sarah || aïs™September 22, 2012Open: daily from 08.00 – 19.00 , Closed: Sunday, October 29th and the full duration of religious holidays. Shopping the "made in Turkey"

Gurkan BaytanJune 23, 2015Unfortunately,all shops are giving high price then normal.Negotiate on prices all the time for sure.You can buy 1/2 price
Maria VoroninaFebruary 2, 2015Worth a visit but don't buy anything here, it's terribly overpriced even if they give you a 50% discount.
Rita MakhoulJanuary 3, 2014It's worth checking out but be prepared for it to be crowded and loud. Prices are much more expensive than elsewhere.
OliviuApril 8, 2013First offer must be 75% less the asked price. U should obtain at least 40% discount.

"Very interesting! The approach is quite intense from the sales people! All the fancy brands are Chinese fake. Go for the Local products and haggle over the price, it could go Down more than 60%"
