This is a youtube video I recently watched about bargaining in india vs. china by comedian Russell Peters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sjNuFAMyHA I think the most important thing is to start low, take your time, "threaten" to walk away and especially: don't feel sorry! First of all seller and buyer are both playing the game and the seller will certainly not give you something just because he's feeling like it today - he'll make a profit. I have never been in Asia so I'm excited about the negotiating experience, but first I'll practice on cheaper items. Oh no I felt so bad for the store owner!
