Hi there, today i visited the same market and bought pretty much the same stuff and got way better prices. Always start bargaining with 1/3 or 1/4 of the price the want. And never pay more than half the price they want. Greetings from vietnam
How could you pay so much? Min wage for Australian was even less than AUD19.5/hour in 2019. Though, you may earn more, no need to feel sorry to crash the price or else price differences based on nationalities cannot stop.
How can you bargain just VND10,000 at the end? U should tell her VND90,000, or just leave it. For Tshirts earlier, around VND50,000 should be ok in 2019.
I agree that these vendors are ruthless. Most of the ones that I've come across at this market can speak multiple languages. So don't be surprised that she understood what you guys were saying.
This is exhausting. I went to a market in Penang and the guy selling the extendable back scratcher looked shocked when I just handed over what he asked.
I’m planning on visiting, possibly staying (if I can find a teaching job) in Ho Chi Minh City. It looks like I won’t be buying to many things. I cannot haggle at all 😩😭
lol, they start at around 500k-650K VND for an item worth 1/4 of that. I start off at 100-150VND and keep at that price. If you walk off they chase after you and agree to your price.
you know what, I've been there twice and I still cannot escape their ability to CONVINCE me to get one thing, or two! LOL! I've been haggled and i've met two guys from Melbourne who kindly down the price by HALF! luckily!!! YES, DON'T BE AFRAID TO WALK AWAY! I tell you, they have this supernatural ability to soften the logic in your head. #seriously!!!
Hats off to you Janice as you look great in that black Supreme hoodie. I am surprised that your starting price was 250,000 VND & worked your way up to 290,000 VND, after all, I have to admit that she was an aggressive & persistent saleslady. I would have stood firm at 250,000 VND but I know it's not easy. It was a great fight and a wonderful yet entertaining video. God bless & cheers!!
I feel sorry for the clothing industry as well as coffee industry. The labor or the farmer earn so little to make these cheap products. I sometime bargain in the market just for fun, eventually I would buy some goods to help the local economy. Great video!
Know the price of some items that you may be interested in. Do some brief currency conversions before heading to the market/shop. Say a brand t-shirt is 20 dollars back home & you know you will be needing one. Convert that into the local currency, then subtract a decent bit due to said item being fake. Once you go in, you know the price so that when the calculator gets whipped in front of your face you won't look like a mark trying to count things out. Say it's too high & put in your own price to the calculator. They'll usually say too low/you crazy. Just say ok & walk away. They either shout you back or you go elsewhere & do the same thing. If you can't find the item anywhere else, then talk a slow walk past again without looking in & they may shout you back. If more tourists would go in prepared, they would never even think about trying to bump prices up to these ridiculous amount.
My friends taught me to haggle as such: - i sell these back home in china so i know the prices. - i like u but i like discounts more. - I bought the same yesterday at 30% - i dun like the quality and i changed my mind and lower my offer now. And if they embarrass you, don’t fall for this trick. The rest of the stalls would call u a cheapskate but impressed that you are an iron lady and a winner! Walk off with your head held high. Lol!!
Love it when I heard you telling the lady you were from China.. I'm a Singaporean but when I went to Da Nang, I told them I'm Malaysian. No offence! But it's the way I haggle.. look! From $118 hoodie (I think I saw $118) to $18???? Wow! Not sure if you tried Da Nang, if not, please visit that city. Not as crowded as HCM and you get to experience the city side and beach side of that city 😉
Good video. U should’ve walked away. They’ll call u back and agree on ur price. I waited for the night market to get under armour shirts for 70k Dong. 🤓
I'll be in Hanoi and Ho Chin Minh on May 2020 i'm ready to bargain that's my expertise 'cause I used to be a market vendor in Manila when I was a teenager!! ahahaha! Jesse from Glendale, CA
Mahal.. in tagalog, too expensive.. in Engliah. In my country ( Philippines) they are not too pricey.. our TShirt is cost 150 or 200 pesos.. fake pa yan ah.. mahal na.. what more kung original
I think saigon square is another clothing market, you still have to haggle. And another are the shops at Pham Ngu Lao street, you don't have to haggle for prices and I think they also sell souvenirs as well.
Can I ask why you keep saying "la" after each sentence?? LOL (I'm Vietnamese and we never use that!) - BTW the key to haggling in Asia is to actually pretend to walk away after your second or 3rd offer max (with small increments)! If you keep going up, they know they can still haggle with you to get a better price for them even though in reality your first small offer already made them a decent profit.
O my gosh Janice! How long are you in Vietnam for? Yen n I are going there next month. For someone who don't haggle you got the skills copped that preme hahaha 🔥
Haha very good I just subscribed me too mostly first time last year I was in market majorca I just looking as I like watches but they persisted and I bought a watch right next door another watch sales stall allready had bought another one because price tumbled down under 50 percent more less same watch the sales techniques I saying this young lady was persistent with you you only looking too why I saying this here my 1st watch just subbed thank you and I going here Vietnam in September I like looking not allways buy buy should be interesting lol thank you very good video as I say I just subbed thank you very good 🙂🙂🇻🇳🇻🇳
You paid way too much. The rules in China is to pay 50% - 30% of the first number they say...sometimes even more. Great video tho! If the quality is good I would buy a few shirts regardless of the brand.
your my friend, your beautiful...somehow missed this video..but this was the most entertaining, if i ever need to hear some compliments (fake but i will take it)..i have to visit that sales lady haha :)
WOW!!!!Great channel !! Enjoy your video. Nice place! Thank you for sharing. Cool Market, my F💙R💚I💜E💛N💖D💚! You are so cool !!! ✨See you soon on your channel!✨ Like 26!
At the very least, they will suggest 3X what they want. Being a foreigner, they think you are rich.You must haggle! If that does not work, walk away. I've been to Saigon 30 times. Ben Thanh is known for the hustle. Some get their wares from Chinese factories. Some products are stolen off ships delivering real items. When DVDs were popular, the newest copies were terrible and overpriced. We always bought the older movies fora few dollars. There are several companies in China producing old fake American, Spanish, Mexican and French coins. You see them all over Vietnam. They are worth nothing.You find them in shops and spots where tourists go. Just use your common sense. Happy shopping!!
All that haggling makes the episode interesting viewing but in reality..just go to the op shop if you want bargain clothes without going through the same old conversations every time with the seller
Have you ever haggled? let me know if you have any more tips on bargaining!
Janice Fung be prepared to walk away
remember that time when jean haggled for a suitcase, from $500 to 1, to $100 for 2 😂
No when ?! Where ?!
That hoodie costs around 50,000 VND lol
@@longttang oh damn i paid 5x too much lol
LOL everytime she says "shh" I'm literally dying 😂
secret deal only for me ;)
I’ve been there a couple of times: these r the prices that u should buy when it comes 2 these items
Hats: $2
T-shirts: $5
Sweater: $10
Sneakers: $12-$15
Belts: $2-5

I'm part Vietnamese and I Agree with the Price
Hi there, today i visited the same market and bought pretty much the same stuff and got way better prices. Always start bargaining with 1/3 or 1/4 of the price the want. And never pay more than half the price they want. Greetings from vietnam
“I like you too, but I don’t like this price” 🤣🤣
hehehe :P
🌶
HAHAHA GOTTEEMM!!!💀💀
will use that in future hahahaha nice one :D
No hard guideline to start from how many % to bargain. Mind need to be clear, remember how much to buy from Kmart or check online immediately.
Thanks for your generosity, how can you pay more than AUD5 for a Tshirt? AUD4 for a cap was too much.The vendors were laughing in their mind.
How could you pay so much? Min wage for Australian was even less than AUD19.5/hour in 2019. Though, you may earn more, no need to feel sorry to crash the price or else price differences based on nationalities cannot stop.
00:02 Seller: "I 'lie' you"
Jaince: "I 'lie' you too"
They "lie" each other lol
😀
How can you bargain just VND10,000 at the end? U should tell her VND90,000, or just leave it. For Tshirts earlier, around VND50,000 should be ok in 2019.
Omg the bargaining is exhausting. Great tips.
Came here from your comment on Collin’s Vietnam video, subscribed.
Thanks for stopping by, i appreciate it!
No problem, good luck with the channel growth!
@@JaniceFung yes yes yes same!!;;
T-Shirt is around 70-110 max. Caps should Not be more then 80-140. Hoody can ne around 150-200.
Now try bargaining at Sydney Paddy's Market. There were so difficult to bargain with. I mean i could get it lower but not as low as I wanted.
Janice lah, you haggle like you in Singapore!
hahaa i dont know where it came from but my inner asian auntie came out
This market has a very large fixed price section. After bargaining in the variable section, your price should be lower than the fixed price.
Janice are u going to be anywhere near Singapore Nov 24-25?
I agree that these vendors are ruthless.
Most of the ones that I've come across at this market can speak multiple languages.
So don't be surprised that she understood what you guys were saying.
For a good quality Vietnamese T shirt, 100% thick cotton, you should pay lower than AUD5, even the world suffered high inflation for more than a year.
This is exhausting. I went to a market in Penang and the guy selling the extendable back scratcher looked shocked when I just handed over what he asked.
omg LOL this is so funny i'm cracking up
$13 au for a cap , that's considered expensive even in Sydney
Yup your right you can buy and bargain those Cap for $3 - $5 at China Town or in Santee in Los Angeles, California!!
To bargain in SE Asia is very low efficiency. Your time is valuable.
I’m planning on visiting, possibly staying (if I can find a teaching job) in Ho Chi Minh City. It looks like I won’t be buying to many things. I cannot haggle at all 😩😭
then just pay their prices
misshulagirl05 u have to try! Don’t be afraid. At least try. Lol
My starting offer is always 10% of the vendor and as I walk away the price goes down quickly.
OMG THAT INTRO HAHAHAAHAHAHAH
"HAA??? 200"
Hi m impress with your haggling skill. You did thrown in a lot of “la” and “wah” 😂
Even you half all your transaction prices they can still earn.
hahaha you really good at bargaining! we need you to join us to Ladies Market in Hong Kong! :p hhahaha
hahaha ok! i'll bargain in cantonese and help you get a good price la
I thought ladies market is a lot crazier haha
@@nickandhelmi haha and scary at the same time! we got kicked out from one of the stalls because of bargaining too much :(. lol.
lol, they start at around 500k-650K VND for an item worth 1/4 of that. I start off at 100-150VND and keep at that price. If you walk off they chase after you and agree to your price.

Why tourists should pay more? So unfair.
I can't wait to go there next month!

They do have government shop in Bến thành market and their don't raised their prices
Start at 50 % then reduce your price as she lowers price then walk away. We've had vendors chase us down the aisle saying "you right lady, "
I feel sorry for the clothing industry as well as coffee industry. The labor or the farmer earn so little to make these cheap products. I sometime bargain in the market just for fun, eventually I would buy some goods to help the local economy. Great video!
Haggling! Haha haha I just can’t 😂 You did pretty well I reckon! I’m just too westernised now to haggle 😭
haha thanks! i try :P
Hey can you find some good fake Rolex AAA quality submariner I will definitely buy from you Jean I’ll buy 2 green an black
why do you say la after everything what does this mean
When you speak to someone with broken English you make yourself sound more Asian so they can understand you..just happens naturally
Janice you're too nice !!! That's why you can't say no to the vendors.
From $110 down to $18...you did great!

Thanks for the video but to be honest with you I don´t think this market offers good prices, or at least I expected to see better deals.
I love that you use your Singaporean English in Vietnam 😂
In Vietnam and Thailand, Start at 25% of the first price and dont pay more than 50% off the first price.
My friends taught me to haggle as such:
- i sell these back home in china so i know the prices.
- i like u but i like discounts more.

Hi, I’m sorry to say, but those are the fakest box logos I’ve ever seen. But I heard you’re only wearing it for home use so I suppose ur fine :)
Haha yea 🤣🤣

U paid more
Wow a million dong first deal for that Soubreme jacket? I could buy like 2 well branded pants here!

Easiest way is to bring a local haha, the. Negotiate from there on 🤣🤣
ahaha yeah 100%. will get a lower starting price too
No locals go to Ben Thanh markets.
It's a tourist trap.

“I like you”

Great job in making haggles.
Canto crew what up... you need to know when to walk away. They always give in most the time and give you their best/lowest price
Ayyy hi!👋
Yea def- the walking away tactic is an oldie but a goodie 👌🏻
Good job miss..
You have to stick to one price and go with it. As soon as you change your own price; you've lost the battle
Malaysia night market
.that fake tshirt you can get 3 for malaysia money rm20..no need to bargain..
I only haggle depending on price, sometimes i feel bad for them that im haggling over cheap stuff so I just let them win
yeahh i know what you mean
Ben Thanh is so over pirced you literally gotta ask for 1/4 of what they initally ask for and settle for 1/3.
🥲
You paid way too much. The rules in China is to pay 50% - 30% of the first number they say...sometimes even more. Great video tho! If the quality is good I would buy a few shirts regardless of the brand.

This video is stressful... I walked in and out of Ben Thanh market... I couldn't deal with it... guess I was the winner since I spend $0 lol
haha i was initially overwhelmed too but then once i got into the swing of things the haggling was actually really fun :P
i think you carry it 200,000 and still sell....
When you haggle and they give you silly price make your offer andwhenthe refuse it walkway
yeah 100% that's something i need to do more of when haggling
Supreme is 💞 But I liked your videos more 💯
Haha Cheers mate!
290 was too much..😪😥😂😂😂
150 would have been enough...
Same script. I will give you discount. Best deal. Only for you 😃
🤣
damnn i woulda actually been pissed if I spent over $20 on that Supreme Hoodie, Looked kinda bad imo lol.
All that haggling makes the episode interesting viewing but in reality..just go to the op shop if you want bargain clothes without going through the same old conversations every time with the seller
Does that mean if we go there and say we are Janices friend we can save all the haggling lol
