viviandr Posted May 15, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi, all. I've heard of bartering in Jamaica, but am wondering if this extends to the stores in the shopping areas of Ocho Rios? Or do you only barter with locals for their wares? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmfan Posted May 18, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I don't know about others, but I never barter in the shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goneclear Posted May 18, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2008 A good way to test the waters is to ask " Is that your best price?" while it is not bartering some sales clerks do have the authority to give a 10 to 15% discount. Sure does not hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
