when bargaining, watch what others (locals or seasoned travelers) are getting for prices and how they are starting off. That's your best bet for shopping the markets, be aggressive in your bargaining in Asian Countries.
Do the math too, make sure you're not spending the what it would cost for a real nike shirt here for a fake one there.
And don't buy anything with the thought that it will last a long time or last through severe punishment, you might get lucky, but odds are you it'll only be good for a little while. ie. if you need real running shoes, don't buy them there,
