I've decided haggling is only fun if you (a) have a basic idea of the value of the item; and (b) go in with a "I really don't care if I walk away with this or not" attitude. Don't be afraid to low ball them hard. If you have a local friend, scope out the item you want and then have your friend get it for you, it'll be the best, because they see a tourist they're NOT going to get as low as the local price.
