Shop around when buying souvenirs

in #travel6 years ago

Hi Steemit

I saw a souvenir shop near the second hotel and decided to buy but only a few

Bought 2 keychains

The price was 35,000 rupiah, which is not too expensive. 1 Us dollar is over 14,000 rupiah. So about $2.50

Then we saw another bigger shop near the 3rd hotel which was full of customers. And found 10 keychains for only 12000 rupiah.

So the first shop 35000 for 2 = 17.500 for each.
Second shop 12000 for 10 = 1200.
First shop is Almost 15 times more expensive than second shop

When you are not sure, a busy shop is usually the way to go.

Thanks for viewing

@djohan,
Actually those are cheap prices for those items! I think if you buy them at my country, you have to pay more! Nice photography and a great collection of souvenirs!

Cheers~

If you had to rank Bali vs the other Islands, where would you rank it?

Hi floridanow, hard to say as i haven't visited that many islands. Bali has more than just nice beaches, as there are other attractions like mountains, and cultural sites. So at peak season it could be super crowded. Ranking definitely in top 10

Thank you....it looked very nice.

Just like how some crypto valuation can be so confusing. Ethereum, Ethereum Classic.

Thank you kevbot, yes true, need to research or put a little money first to test

I think the first batch looks much nicer in terms of material, design, metal rings and colouring.
The second batch is nit as good quality as the first batch!!
I prefer those two pieces!

Thank you kaminchan, i hope so otherwise i would be overpaying for them

@djohan, So awesome shopping items indeed in souvenir shop Bali. Those keychains superb looking. Nice items you bought.

Thank you madushanka, yes it would be nice gifts for friends

Hello @djohan, well you are a man and do not do any market research, women are aware of everything, especially the prices, the difference between the stores is too much, the next purchases should request a reduction in the price, or one more, I want to say some gift, that's what women do.
Blessings and may GOD accompany you :)

Thank you martha75, yes women are better at shopping. Maybe also applies when choosing cryptocurrencies

The looking for key tag.very nice photography and so good shopping.
Thanks @djohan
Have a great day
