I recently got back from DR and of course visited several shops and stands of vendors selling the typical gifts/souvenirs but I wasn't really sure what a good price is for them. It's hard to compare prices because they don't give you their lowest price unless you go through the whole bargaining process with them. To protect those who are planning to go soon from being ripped off, I think it would be nice to get some ideas on what are good prices to pay for some of the typical items. Below is a list of some of the things I priced and what I did or could have gotten them for:
(prices are in USD)
- ceramic faceless doll - small = $2-3, med = $5
- mamajuana (dry) - liter bottle = $10
- paintings - 8x8 = $3-5, 36x8 = $20-30
- amber pendant - large = $35, medium = $15
- t-shirt = $5-8
Please add your experiences of what you've priced these and other items as.
