As a new buyer in Gikomba looking for Mitumba Bales...(Continuation)
- Learn to Bargain (Fika Bei) Bargaining is a must in Gikomba. Sellers often inflate prices for newbies. Here’s how to negotiate:
- Know the Market Price: Research bale prices online or ask experienced traders. For example, a Grade A ladies’ tops bale shouldn’t exceed KES 15,000.
- Dress Down: Wear simple clothes to avoid being overcharged. If you look flashy, sellers might double the price.
- Be Confident: Say, “Hii bale ni ya Grade A? Bei yake ni ngapi kwa regular customers?” to show you’re not a newbie.
Anti-Con Tip: If the price feels too high, walk away. There are many suppliers in Gikomba, and someone else will have a better deal.
