i''ve been to many markets like this - swap meets and flea markets in the US; in hongkong and bangkok. and its true the vendors here are quite rude and the goods are steeply priced cos its SOP. you have to bargain less than half of the price to get fair. and the goods are all copies and even some cannot pass for the genuine. theyre not worth it. really.

RUDE Seller everywhere. Don't buy, Don't ask.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/15/09
Very Very rude sellers everywhere. Don't ask the price if you just want to know it, they will start to mock at you if you don't but.. And if you bargain, but still don't buy, they will become more aggressive and abusive. If you like to windows shopping, don't bother to ask their price. Try to avoid going this place. The quality isn't that good. Not worth for your money. Can still find them elsewhere much cheaper.
Like the atmosphere but in same time dont like how the seller in Petaling Streets gave very rude and racist comments for some women that dont pay attention for their stupid comments especially Indian seller.

Night life rocks!

I first arrived at 3pm, and my first perception was - boring... but I waited until it gets dark and it was very worth it! More stalls opened, and the hawkers just went wild- promoting their goods with various ways and styles. Every single hawker wants our money! And honestly speaking, they don't have to work hard to get it! You just felt like buying everything! There's nothing more fun than shopping in the dark! in Petaling Street!
Things are cheap. Dirt cheap. low quality but looks original. Brawlers own this place. Don't say a thing if you are not buying anything. Ladies, this is not the place to show flesh. They will come after you. Anything can be found here. This place was made for tourist and they will try to take every penny from them so you will need to bargain if you want them cheap. Almost every goods there are made in China. It is also a good place for food.
Experiences malaysian own china town, where you could get almost everythings from tradional chinese heritage goods to the latest gadgets. For chinese food lover..... this is your heaven. Everything here is so reasonable and dirt cheap.
