Compared across countries
Can you haggle over prices?
The same question, answered for every country on the site.

Japan
No. The marked price is the price, and asking for a discount will be met with polite confusion.
-
China
Not where a price tag hangs — marked prices are a legal requirement, and the tag is a ceiling. Markets without tags are a different world.
-
Vietnam
In markets and casual shops, yes — the tourism board's own word for it is gentle negotiation. Ask a few vendors first so you know what the number should be.
-
South Korea
Only in traditional markets, and only gently. Everywhere else the price is fixed and asking reads as odd.
