*****Ok, before we finish this post, I would like to remind you guy again.

You have to bargain, the Cambodian seller would be asking about double or sometimes even triple prices of what they are willing to sell. So keep on bargaining, don’t say you have a great deal if you can’t find the stuff you want without 30 % to 50 % off or sometimes 70 % off from what they will be asking. If you love one thing so much and you try to bargain but the seller seem not really want to low the price to what you offer, you should act like you walk away and tell the seller that is your offer- this is how we are as Cambodians do when we can’t get something cheaper . If they can sell to you, they will definitely call you  back and give you the price you offer, but if they don’t call, it means you need to be back and have to offer a little bit more, lolz.
