One thing you must know before visiting this market is to never agree to the quoted price.

This one-of-a-kind market puts your negotiating skills to the test; you cannot show your hand. You have to argue that they’re charging extra and maintain your poker face, just like in a game of poker. The most crucial thing to keep in mind when visiting Palika Market is to take your time and consider all of your options before making a purchase. There’s a good chance you’ll discover a better offer at another store. 

The golden rule in markets like Palika is to haggle; if that doesn’t work, try backing away a few steps. There is a good chance the shop owner will lower the price.
