Well.. not all the souvenirs stores same exactly the same thing.. though the appear to do so.. but buy it if you like it.. coz you may not pass by it again or even recognise the stall if you do.
The thing i realised when i tried to buy a porcelein doll for myself is that prices were sold at quite a large range. The first stall i came across sold it at 6euros and i thought.. if this guy could sell it at 6.. so would every other stall.. but i couldn't be more wrong. Every other stall was sell it at 9 or 10euros. Eventually i got it at 8.50 coz i could remember which was the first stall and time was running out anyway.
But even for souvenirs.. one stall could be selling it at 1.50 euros and the next stall is selling it at 2.50euros... and gosh.. these sellers will not allow you to bargain.. even in my feeble attempt to speak to them in Italian!
I was glad to see that i got a few good buys at the end of the day though!

At Least Do This: If you like it.. just buy it... or you might just regret..
I was so glad i bought this little doll at only 3euros because i could not find another similar one.. and for 3euros.. i thought it was really cheap!
