We recently bought a rug in Istanbul. We didnt do much comparison shopping - very challenging in that haggling environment. We found what we really wanted, had them take out some like it, whittled down the choices (knowing we only wanted the first one) and then bargained (over hot apple tea) Shopkeeper said 650, husband countered with 275, shopkeep balked and raised to 575, husband pulled out 500 lira, shopkeeper took it. We bargained down $100 but I'm sure it was worth the price regardless. Great experience.
