The art of haggling

Buying and selling - it is for countries in the Middle East, a special ritual, and bargaining is its integral part. It is more than just a desire to get the best price - it is an important part of life, a question of honor, the quintessence of the Arab trade. Both sides, as the actors in the theater, playing roles - the sellers inflate the price just for the fact that in the process of bargaining, supported by the repeated invitation to the customer for a coffee or tea, you could reduce it. A buyer, in turn, should underestimate the price. Undaunted insult, which demonstrates the salesman, he moves away, showing a lack of interest, and a minute later returned. This entrenched, exactly defined and continuously repeated sequence of gestures and words continue to run as long as the price will be determined by satisfying both sides.
