Most Indian cities have at least one market where you can buy classy stuff for dirt cheap prices and when it comes to Delhi, there’s Sarojini Nagar, Janpath, Lajpat Nagar, Pallika Bazaar and many others where you can shop from. But there’s one skill that will come in handy, ALWAYS.
Bargaining.
A video on YouTube is going viral, where a foreigner can be seen bargaining like a boss. Check it out here:

He can be seen shopping at Delhi’s Ghaffar Market which is popular for all things tech and electronics. Collin goes to shop for watches at a kiosk, where the shopkeeper tells him he has all brands like Cartier, Rado and Rolex. The shopkeeper quotes Rs 3000 for a first copy of these branded watches and Collin can be seen saying he doesn’t have that much to spend and can only spare Rs 700.
Collin walks away and then the classic Indian thing happens with him, “Sir, come back!” Next, he cracks a deal of two watches for Rs 2000.
Collin followed all the right tricks. Quoting a really low prices as opposed to what the shopkeeper said he wanted, is classic!
Who hasn’t tried this every single time you went out to shop for?
