[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much you could really, really, really barter and negotiate with the beach vendors on St. Maarten. [/quote] Ha I love this. We went over Christmas 20 years ago. My 14 year old daughter wanted braids. That was her Christmas gift. $340 later my husband (a banker) used his negotiating skills to bring it down to $75. Daughter has super thick hair and you pay by the braid. [/quote] You really need to read the room on the bartering thing. I was at a restaurant on the beach in Cabo and these obnoxious Americans with the worst 7th grade Spanish were trying to get some poor women to sell them a scarf/wrap for the most ridiculous price. It was like her - $20. Him — I’ll give you $5. Her — no, it’s $20. Him, c’mon you can do it for $5. Her, it’s $20. Him—I could go as high as $8. Her, trying to walk away. He would not shut up. He kept saying he wanted it for a “partido blanco” and I was wondering how on earth this guy didn’t know the word “fiesta.” [/quote]
