Time to dust off those bargaining skills, as bargaining at the Mongkok Ladies Market is a must. All prices at the Ladies Market are negotiable, and the sellers will waste no time in trying to fleece naïve tourists.
Assume everything is at least 10% overpriced, if not 20%. Start at a low price and bargain with the stall holder until you reach a price you think is fair, if they won’t budge, take your business down the road, as the same or similar product shouldn’t be far away. Be warned, Hong Kong market sellers are old veterans and can appear aggressive, but the bargaining is just part of the game, and if you get a good price, they will often offer you a compliment afterwards.
