For some reason its the shops run by Asians that have the "creative" pricing policies. That is not rascist, just fact. It tends to be either the electrical shops or hand bag / leather / gift shops. There are never any prices on display. I went into one with my mum in law on Sunday in Los Cristianos as she wanted a bag. She saw one, asked the price, and he said €105. I told him he was having a laugh asking that for a copy Gucci, and he said well its a good copy you can have it for €65. By the time we were walking out he was after us, bag in hand saying give me €25, so she bought it. Scandelous!! Another thing, you read from time to time about police raiding premises where there are snide goods, yet in certain areas of town, and on the markets there are hundreds of them. How come they dont get raided, it would be a doddle??
