That is too cheap bro....that is fair price....he is an honest and innocent guy...we local even can't buy that price.....that was an outrageous bargain....
900 srilakan rupees is like 2.5 dollars. I dont know why you are bargaining. There is immense inflation that is going on. Damn! You could have googled the price conversion before buying.
Sri Lanka is going through finance crisis and you are arguing over a cheap price? That's already cheap already. Besides that, loved the rest of the video.
Yea the people have a very hard life there. There’s no need to bargain. When I travel I only bargain on very expensive merchandise not inexpensive items, as these people have little finances as it is. Nice video, thanks for sharing 👍
Yeah well these vloggers don't have a money tree growing in their backyards !! They are on budget too and why do you need to pay such an amount for a copy , a fake ???? All of us struggle in life but that doesn't mean we have to overspend on something not worth its price !!
@@yunusm4208 then don't buy it and argue with someone who is also struggling. I don't believe vloggers are on a budget they make alot of money and stay in expensive hotels. So unsure where u getting ur info from but thats a big ass lie.
Come on you should know where to bargain. It was only Rs. 1,000. It's only $2.00. I am a Sri Lankan living in the US and you can't think of buying a pair of shoes for $2.00.
i felt bad for the shoe sales person. bargaining on 1000lkr is ridiculous. think about what that guy makes. 1000lkr is literally less than $3 usd. why would you give him such a hassle. not a fan of that behaviour.
@@rankyldrps454 Still it's not too much. Coz we know what the price is usually. We have been buying Waves slippers for Lkr 1000 from long before inflation. Feel sorry for the guy. Should know when to bargain. I'm sad to say I didn't enjoy this video b coz of that. If the seller said a foreigner price it's fair. But no he gave the local normal price. Even fake is costly since covid.
Mate I used to be a big fan but not anymore. Why do you always bargain so hard??? Asking for 250 even though they're fake slides is insane wtf!! Unsubscribed..
Sorry to say this but it was So rude mate! You can’t get them for 250/-. He was so nice to you and he he gave you a good price already. Your language wasn’t pleasant. Please be mindful of what you talk brother.

Very sad.. whats 1000 rupees for you? They are poor people... Dont forget.. you make money with vidoes like this... In my eyes thats very disrespectful Sry...
Mans was really bargaining over like $1-$2 lmao. Just pay the poor kid, they need it a lot more than you do bro. Also that guy that just rolled up the betel and then ate it himself is a savage lmfaooo. Don't let yourself get used like that, Luke!! Keep up the good and entertaining vids brother, but most importantly please stay safe homie.
@@nastayk2379 I’m not saying he doesn’t need it, of course not. Everyone needs money but he has luxuries that they simply don’t and it just didn’t make sense to bargain with someone who would benefit greatly from receiving that money. Also it was only over $1-$2 so it’s not like it would’ve broke Luke’s pockets, and the local would benefit from it. That $1-$2 makes a big difference for the local.
I got mixed feelings when it comes to this. I've spent some time in the mid east and in Turkey during the 90s and it was absolutely normal (almost expected?) to bargain as it is a cultural thing in some countries. Not sure about Sri Lanka tbh though! :) But I know that many Sri Lankans are shit poor and in that case I also think 1000 wasn't a lot as it's like a few dollars only.

@@NNC93 you can buy these plastic sandal for a dollar, but if you've so much money, yeah you can donate all to people and be called great philanthropist. Yes these people never scam tourists.
Totally disappointed Luke ☹️, you bargained too much. The current situation in Sri Lanka is extremely poor, still the kid offered a honest price. Its hard for them to arrange one time meal.
I love your videos bro, but if you look at the conversion rate in AUD the shoe was $3.88 for 1000 rupees. Man was giving you a good price. It was just hard to watch...
If I come from Germany to visit Sri Lanka and they sell a slipper for Euro 2.50, i would definitely buy it without bargaining, probably will give more. That's more than i can afford it without hurting even my pocket. Life is hard, wouldn't be hard for us to pay the real price for a Euro 2.50 slippe, especially tourists from Western countries. I"m from Germany and whenever i shop in India or further east, i would not try to bargaining as i know they need money too. It certainly wouldn't hurt our pocket either for Euro 2.50. Anyway you making great vlog i just appreciate that. Thank you for your adventure. Peace😊
Luke Do not call every man in Sri Lanka Machan. because Machan is the best friend. But in Sri Lanka, older people are not called machang. When they talk like that, they get angry. You can sometimes see it in their faces. Say machang to peers. Older people call Uncle or Auntie.😌 These days there are srilanka vs australia matches. Many people come to watch these matches. I think Luke you can have a lot of fun there
I like your videos and I am a retailer myself, but it's very annoying how you keep bargaining with that guy. The price is already cheap.. You're telling me that you have enough money to travel to another country but not to pay $2.5 for a pair of slides?
Cmon Machan...250 is wayy too low in Sri Lanka. Maybe in India , its a fair price not in Sri lanka. 1 INR = 4.6 Sri Lankan rupee. Not all 'Rupees' are same MACHANNNN
Luke I respect you so much but in this video you speak a very rude comment to shop keeper boy . You said ,"do you want to sell your sister to me aswell', the boy didn't know English properly so he didn't understand what you said . But it's very rude. Sometimes we pass very inappropriate comment to someone which decrease our respect in eyes of others
yeah thats was extremely rude and disrespectful. He said it several times. God this guy has no shame. I want to slap him so hard. I was a fan of him since years not anymore and have watched his SL videos when he was in SL last time 2,3 years ago when he was a new youtuber. Shame !
Tbh those flip flops cost Rs.1300-1500(4.5 $ now) here in Sri Lanka...Even before the crisis the least would be Rs.900(4.5 $ at that time)..Even normal slippers cost Rs.500 at that time...That type of bargaining is not acceptable Luke..😞 Even we Locals don't..Btw a Nice Vlog..🇱🇰💙
The shoe vendor was just trying to do his job. He tried to explain in the language he know....And u made fun of him ....and also robbed him ....that's rude

There is something called haggling that people do to get a lower price. Then there is whatever it is that this guy is doing.. bro if you don’t know how to haggle then don’t try, you will come off as a clown. You’d be no better then your typical Craigslist/offerup low baller. Especially if it’s to an honest worker..
Brother, you can't get that shoes for RS. 250/= because It's truly low price in Sri Lanka brother. Thank you for your support to our little country. In these days we are in a trouble machan. Thank you again❤
I enjoy viewing your videos since you portray the country in a lovely way. One thing I would recommend is don't insult the locals who are trying to make a living by saying things like "I'll give you 250 and a Coca-Cola Zero." Please do your research on currencies before visiting different countries; don't compare Pakistan to other south Asian countries; Pakistan's cost of living may be more sustainable than Sri Lanka's, and you got a nice deal on those sliders.
Dude, how could you ask for 250 rupees when the salesboy quoted 900? That's ridiculous. Bargain only when you think the shopkeeper is ripping you off. 900 was the actual local price. If you're in a developing country, don't just think that you can buy everything in 1 dollar. It's not 2000s anymore, we are in 2022, my man.
I agree with this. 900 rupees is UK £2.02. That gets you half a beer over here. The lad selling the shoes was laughing and in good spirits about it. I'd have told Luke what to do with his offer.😃
yes really nasty I feel bad for him for asking for such a small price from an innocent young man trying to hold a business during a financial crisis in the country. Obviously if you want to buy the original get the original
They create stories for their videos by recording hardworking guys like this and paying a few bucks for them and making millions. even locals never bargain like this.
He was an honest seller u can't get that price anywhere here now ;-; sad to see u bargaining.even locals never bargain that way cuz we were well aware of it.really a cheap price for those flip flops.they really forgot to add the transportation fees,profit and the rent of the place plus electric bills,other than the wholesale price ;-;
Being an Indian , I always thought that india is cheap but sri lanka is cheaper , 1000 sri lankan rupees is like 220 rupees which is around 3 dollars and is a very good price u shouldn’t have bargained with him , he seems to be a honest man
Mate 200? Can you even expect to get a decent meal for that price back in Australia? Have some human decency. Glad the guy working there was nice enough to put up with it.
even locals would not be able to get pair of sandals for 800/= normally it's 1500 or so if you bargain you can get them for like 1200 or 1000. He's a good man he gave Luke a good price in the first place, didn't tried to rip off. No offense Luke but that is not a good bargain. The poor boy must have get an earful from his boss like he said for selling them that cheap. know where to bargain
You should be really ashamed of yourself. Are you serious? You are bargaining for 1$-2$ . I loved your content and video which u do so much but after this, I'm really disgusted by you. Srilanka is already suffering so much economic crises and he needs money more than u. he gave you the best price and you are taking advantage of his kindness. You can not even get water bottle in Australia for that amount he quoted.
@@yaboijack67 it really doesn't matter where you live and from where you buy a bottle of water. All I'm trying to tell is this Aussie TH-camr should be ashamed for what he did. I mean just come on man!!, It's just 2$.
It’s disgusting you bargaining for 250. There is a way to bargain and that was very rude and you joked about sister. In any culture especially many south Asian cultures it is crossing the line when you joke about their woman and religion. You seem like a nice person and please do not do this and be mindful how you joke and bargain. Not every people in these countries are out to rip off foreigners. This kind of behavior is why many countries are sick of foreigners. Disgusting and going to unsubscribe.
don’t try to argue over asking cheaper price @luke… Sri Lanka is already going through a financial crisis and this poor boy is already giving you a good price..You guys never asking for a cheaper price when you are dining at expensive hotels..but asking for discounts when dealing with poor vendors as him…😤
that was a fair price dude 250 so much cheap Like are you mad or what dude? Even locals don't go below 600 (least price of those slides) but anyways rest of the video was good Good Luck exploring
That is too cheap bro....that is fair price....he is an honest and innocent guy...we local even can't buy that price.....that was an outrageous bargain....

@@NNC93 couldn't agree more mate... To be honest I thought he was having a bit of fun with him then was going to give him the 1000 at the end... 🤑
@@basil9983 I get people want a bargain and want the prices the locals pay and I enjoy lukes videos but I just thought that was a bit bad for the original price at 900 in feb like £3.30 I mean even if they lasted a month it’s just over 10p a day come on
@@NNC93 you can buy these plastic sandal for a dollar, but if you've so much money, yeah you can donate all to people and be called great philanthropist. Yes these people never scam tourists.
Totally disappointed Luke ☹️, you bargained too much. The current situation in Sri Lanka is extremely poor, still the kid offered a honest price. Its hard for them to arrange one time meal.
Why insulting the guy in the beginning about his sister? Be respectful. And don't be so cheap. Bargaining for 3$
if he was in india.....indians taught him how to talk about a sister...
I love your videos bro, but if you look at the conversion rate in AUD the shoe was $3.88 for 1000 rupees. Man was giving you a good price. It was just hard to watch...
i skipped the first clip i couldnt watch it😵
If I come from Germany to visit Sri Lanka and they sell a slipper for Euro 2.50, i would definitely buy it without bargaining, probably will give more. That's more than i can afford it without hurting even my pocket. Life is hard, wouldn't be hard for us to pay the real price for a Euro 2.50 slippe, especially tourists from Western countries. I"m from Germany and whenever i shop in India or further east, i would not try to bargaining as i know they need money too. It certainly wouldn't hurt our pocket either for Euro 2.50. Anyway you making great vlog i just appreciate that. Thank you for your adventure. Peace😊
Luke Do not call every man in Sri Lanka Machan. because Machan is the best friend. But in Sri Lanka, older people are not called machang. When they talk like that, they get angry. You can sometimes see it in their faces. Say machang to peers. Older people call Uncle or Auntie.😌
These days there are srilanka vs australia matches. Many people come to watch these matches. I think Luke you can have a lot of fun there
I like your videos and I am a retailer myself, but it's very annoying how you keep bargaining with that guy. The price is already cheap.. You're telling me that you have enough money to travel to another country but not to pay $2.5 for a pair of slides?
Cmon Machan...250 is wayy too low in Sri Lanka. Maybe in India , its a fair price not in Sri lanka. 1 INR = 4.6 Sri Lankan rupee. Not all 'Rupees' are same MACHANNNN
Luke I respect you so much but in this video you speak a very rude comment to shop keeper boy . You said ,"do you want to sell your sister to me aswell', the boy didn't know English properly so he didn't understand what you said . But it's very rude. Sometimes we pass very inappropriate comment to someone which decrease our respect in eyes of others
yeah thats was extremely rude and disrespectful. He said it several times. God this guy has no shame. I want to slap him so hard. I was a fan of him since years not anymore and have watched his SL videos when he was in SL last time 2,3 years ago when he was a new youtuber. Shame !
Stingy Australian, wanted to rob that poor vendor with insane bargaining
Yes. With the money saved Luke plans to stay in a resort in Bali.
Bro why is everyone being mad at him that's his money he can do whatever he wants with it.
1000 rupee is too much for that fake nike..
$900 rupees is so little. :( I don't understand how you can ask for $250 rupees. He is also doing business and trying to make money. Thats bad. sad.
Tbh those flip flops cost Rs.1300-1500(4.5 $ now) here in Sri Lanka...Even before the crisis the least would be Rs.900(4.5 $ at that time)..Even normal slippers cost Rs.500 at that time...That type of bargaining is not acceptable Luke..😞 Even we Locals don't..Btw a Nice Vlog..🇱🇰💙
Exactly bro
who cares.
@@joke0291blind much ? we do.
Bit disappointed at beginning of the video.. Even locals pay more sometimes..
The shoe vendor was just trying to do his job. He tried to explain in the language he know....And u made fun of him ....and also robbed him ....that's rude
shoe shop man telling the local price so no need to bargain. A little bit upset about it. Last parts is interesting. Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka 😍. I'm your big fan from Sri Lanka 😍
Thank you for informing me, glad to know you liked it 😊
Thanks 👍👍
@@LukeDamant 🤣 LUKE would u give me ur camera for 1000rupees + ur sister ?
Well it's a copy , a fake !! So I don't see why bargaining is not possible !! Nothing wrong there !
@@yunusm4208 oh well, everybody knows it's fake. Just forget the brand, where can you find flip flops under 3,4 dollars. He asked it for 1 dollar too. Huh? He can do some study about actual prices before bargaining in a shitty way. Disspointing. Let him understand his fault. Don't reasonify it. Then the same fault would not occur again.👍
Shame maahn that was 1000 and its like 44 rand in South Africa. That is so cheap. In South Africa you would pay atleast 5000 rupees for a fake
Dude your messed up grinding this guy for cents not even dollars
No offense but as a local Sri Lankan I got the same thing for 1500 Sri Lanka is cheap man don't bargain too much 1000 is dirt cheap
Was thinking the same thing. He went from 1000 to "nah let's do 200" I was like that's mad disrespectful.
@@nimeshhewawasam2915 yeah man no hate but this guy doesn't know bargaining
@@klausmikaelson3723 he got scammed from the cricket shirt and shorts lol and nearly alot of other shops were scamming him too. i dont blame him plus they were $4 before the inflation crisis.
@@sugandipowers4613 Jesus, you're spamming this comment everywhere. So, according to your logic, if you get scammed once, then you expect to buy everything for 1-2 dollars? Lmao. That's a bad mindset.
@@aman_s_96 ? no im not said it 3 times and no he got scammed lots of times in the past it wasnt one time.
Even poor Sri Lankans never bargain that way brother. how much money do you make by recording him for your content without paying him?
I think Luke should revisit Srilanka and reward the honest man. He has done that to less deserving persons in other parts of the world.
yes we don't bargain like that. Its nasty. I'm grossed out
There is something called haggling that people do to get a lower price. Then there is whatever it is that this guy is doing.. bro if you don’t know how to haggle then don’t try, you will come off as a clown. You’d be no better then your typical Craigslist/offerup low baller. Especially if it’s to an honest worker..
Brother, you can't get that shoes for RS. 250/= because It's truly low price in Sri Lanka brother. Thank you for your support to our little country. In these days we are in a trouble machan. Thank you again❤
I am agree with you🥰
I enjoy viewing your videos since you portray the country in a lovely way. One thing I would recommend is don't insult the locals who are trying to make a living by saying things like "I'll give you 250 and a Coca-Cola Zero." Please do your research on currencies before visiting different countries; don't compare Pakistan to other south Asian countries; Pakistan's cost of living may be more sustainable than Sri Lanka's, and you got a nice deal on those sliders.
Dude, how could you ask for 250 rupees when the salesboy quoted 900? That's ridiculous. Bargain only when you think the shopkeeper is ripping you off. 900 was the actual local price.
If you're in a developing country, don't just think that you can buy everything in 1 dollar. It's not 2000s anymore, we are in 2022, my man.
💯 💯 💯
I agree with this. 900 rupees is UK £2.02. That gets you half a beer over here. The lad selling the shoes was laughing and in good spirits about it. I'd have told Luke what to do with his offer.😃
yes really nasty I feel bad for him for asking for such a small price from an innocent young man trying to hold a business during a financial crisis in the country. Obviously if you want to buy the original get the original
Exactly with the inflation sky rocketing , u can't even buy biscuits for 150 now
I will never get why these vloggers bargain for few cents at a local shop and then spend 200 dollars for a fancy hotel room. all for views maybe
They create stories for their videos by recording hardworking guys like this and paying a few bucks for them and making millions. even locals never bargain like this.
And rude af talking about his sister like that haha
well i think a hotel room is a lot more important then a small bargain for fake shoes lmao
He was an honest seller u can't get that price anywhere here now ;-; sad to see u bargaining.even locals never bargain that way cuz we were well aware of it.really a cheap price for those flip flops.they really forgot to add the transportation fees,profit and the rent of the place plus electric bills,other than the wholesale price ;-;
I felt bad for that boy. Don't bargain like that man. It's under 2 dollars man🤦♂️
bros really bargaining for lower than 2 pound
Excruciating to watch you bargain over pennies 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Being an Indian , I always thought that india is cheap but sri lanka is cheaper , 1000 sri lankan rupees is like 220 rupees which is around 3 dollars and is a very good price u shouldn’t have bargained with him , he seems to be a honest man
Mate 200? Can you even expect to get a decent meal for that price back in Australia? Have some human decency. Glad the guy working there was nice enough to put up with it.
Not only that, the "iraqi sidekick" had the nerve to say 250 and a bottle of coke.
It’s embarrassing to watch
@@playernumber3. they where fake Nike they should be free

@@SilverfoxJB yeah I’m definitely a troll you got me🤦♂️🤡
The stingiest ones
You can't talk about anyone's sister like that even as a joke mate, not funny at all
quit being sensitive its a joke if you cant handle it then dont watch
@@sugandipowers4613 really ? Well i hope you have time to others comment about this. Pissoff
@@Kaile1789 once again sensitive people can leave. and yes take your advice and piss off.
even locals would not be able to get pair of sandals for 800/= normally it's 1500 or so if you bargain you can get them for like 1200 or 1000. He's a good man he gave Luke a good price in the first place, didn't tried to rip off. No offense Luke but that is not a good bargain. The poor boy must have get an earful from his boss like he said for selling them that cheap. know where to bargain
Even it's from february, 900 is a reasonable price
$2.50 dollars n you trying to get them cheaper lol the lad has gotta support his family
This bargaining was kinda rude especially the sister jokes.
It was the boy who started talking about his sister
Come on.... How can you say 250/- in Pakistan cheapest is 550/-
Please don't bargain like that. Even as a sri lankan we can't get that slipper for Rs. 900/= he is giving the best price he can. 🤢
Lowballing to a unreasonable price, the "iraqi" offering 250 and a coke and after all that cringe asking for his sister? Have you lost your mind?
very disgusting behaviour!!
this is reality of these vloggers....disrespectful to his brother....he didnt understand....otherwise....he could have taught a lesson to him
If I was that shopkeeper I would've been in jail now with my knuckles all messed up.
Why did you put Iraqi in quotations?
Rs.1000 nowadays Is really low brother Because Everything in srilanka Price Is expensive
omg what the hell did u do in the beginning? those were 1000 even back in 2019. ill join the next vlog hopefully.
අපිටවත් රු.200ට සෙරෙප්පු දෙකක් ගන්න බෑ මචාං.
Muta pissuda mnda bn
I wouldn't have bargained that much knowing the state economic state they are in
brother, just pay the 2€ for the Sandals, why you bargain with a Human in a needy Country ? Anyway, love your videos, thanks for that
And it was the local price. In entire South Asia, he couldn't get them for a lower price.
Bro the inflation in Sri Lanka is over the top. That's why the price. I think that guy is being generous with the price.
You should be really ashamed of yourself. Are you serious? You are bargaining for 1$-2$ . I loved your content and video which u do so much but after this, I'm really disgusted by you. Srilanka is already suffering so much economic crises and he needs money more than u. he gave you the best price and you are taking advantage of his kindness. You can not even get water bottle in Australia for that amount he quoted.
I live in Australia cheap bottle of water costs 80 cents from big supermarkets like Cole's Woolworths but Luke was wrong for doing that to the guy
@@yaboijack67 it really doesn't matter where you live and from where you buy a bottle of water. All I'm trying to tell is this Aussie TH-camr should be ashamed for what he did. I mean just come on man!!, It's just 2$.
Your visit is greatly appreciated and we Sri Lankans thank you for your message to the world about our country. 🇱🇰 boro
lmao love the vids but its almost like ur addicted to bargaining over pennies
Luke 1000 SLR is 216 INR and is a pretty darn good deal mate ... 250 SLR is 54 INR and he gave u 900 deal .... don't bargain much my friend.
It’s disgusting you bargaining for 250. There is a way to bargain and that was very rude and you joked about sister. In any culture especially many south Asian cultures it is crossing the line when you joke about their woman and religion. You seem like a nice person and please do not do this and be mindful how you joke and bargain. Not every people in these countries are out to rip off foreigners. This kind of behavior is why many countries are sick of foreigners. Disgusting and going to unsubscribe.
don’t try to argue over asking cheaper price @luke… Sri Lanka is already going through a financial crisis and this poor boy is already giving you a good price..You guys never asking for a cheaper price when you are dining at expensive hotels..but asking for discounts when dealing with poor vendors as him…😤
Your negotiating over something that costs $3.40 Australian. Poor form.
Spend so much time haggling,,,,,,
Bro just convert sri lankan currency to dollar 1000 sri lankan is so cheap
Hey Luke , I wath your videos , But please remember that bargaining is not a heroism right 🥴 That guy gave you the best offer by the way
He actually wasn't trying to scam you, he just couldn't communicate what he actually wanted to say
that was a fair price dude
250 so much cheap
Like are you mad or what dude?
Even locals don't go below 600 (least price of those slides)
but anyways rest of the video was good
Good Luck exploring
Buying something from 900 to 250 it's not a bargain, it's offending for the seller.
900 was a local price not tourists price
Asking 200 for those ones were really bad, that is literally no money
