What does $100 get you in the Marrakech Markets?! Morocco

Today we visit Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech Morocco, and the markets surrounding it to see how much we can buy for $100 with my average negotiating skills.

I'm originally from the USA but I live in Morocco. The bag was worth about 150 dh. The guy selling the lamp looked so sad when you said you couldn't go over 80. If it were me, I would just give him 200 just to help him out .

[jojobizarreadventure]

The price they give will not make them rich, they sell 3 to 5 pieces per day, they have families, the cost of living in Marrakech is just too crazy.just think about it when you buy a tiny piece of Ray-Ban sunglasses for 300 dollars without complaining that much.

[lordvoldemort]

Honestly you kinda did the guy bad with the price you gave him for the lamp. most of them are really poor and only sell a few pieces a day to support themselves. He really did give it to you as a gift cuz I'm Moroccan myself and I'm 100% sure I wouldn't have gotten it from him for that price.

[s.oualid]

simple question do you think a foreign brand would accept 10 or 20 $ as a margin on a handcrafted product ?
Artisanal goods are handcrafted and the people who made it put a lot of effort into making it. If the competition wasn't that fierce in the market no one would accept your prices... anw good bargain skills buddy ;)

[soukaina]

ok I feel bad for the dude who sold u the genie lamp, it's obvious it was a loss for him knowing that that's real copper ... u literally got that as a gift

[Karim-udkl]

No need to be that stingy, these people are just relying on tourists to support their families. I don't even go that far bargaining even If I'm a local.

[sleepyzzz]

These guys get great prices and still complain. They look like snobby a holes.

[honeybee]

So heartless on the lamp man seriously.

[robertlee]

I was in Marrakesh last week and I believe in paying a bit more since I came over from UK. If the stall holder makes a bit extra profit then that is fine with me. I try and pay what I am happy with even if that is more than what I could bargain down to on price.

[imanebasraoui]

i wish you weren’t soo stingy with some of the sellers they actually gave you really good prices like 250 for the Djellaba

[qibbou]

Their asking prices are ridiculous, but your are a good bargainer ! and NO you couldn't get the prices any less than that even if you WERE local, I m from Fes!

[dank]

i'm moroccan and i think you got the cheapest prices!!

[fati-zbry]

People don't have problem buying a lacoste bag that costs 200 dollars that is made of plastic and complain that a handmaid bag made from genuine leather costs 50 dollars 🤨🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
I had the same reaction when he said he'll give 4 dollars for the handmaid brass lamp : Are you f^;%ng CRAZY, go shop in the plastic market go go

[ridahakimi]

40 dirham was insulting. Surprised he only called you "crazy" show he has good character.

[yokoboccara]

I was born in Marrakech and lived there all my life for the genie lamp it rly wasnt a scam its usually around 12-10 usd cuz they r hand made. 👌👌

[lyriclanguages]

I have a Moroccan friend who tells me how much they struggle to make just a few bucks, so I would feel guilty negotiating a price lol but good job haha I admire you

[koraforlife]

i'm a moroccan and i can say you succeed in that challenge bro

[delevingneg]

الميريكانيين صدقو كثر منا ف التشطار 😅

[_DM]

No bro, trust me. U got these items for an extraordinary price, idk how these sellers accepted to sell this stuff to u for that price. It's insane!
I'm Moroccan and I know the prices very well, and I kinda feel sad for the sellers.
