Pay 1/3 to 1/4 the first asking price. It is a typical flea market with lots of variety and fun gifts to take home. It felt safe and they speak enough English to do business.
Waste of time visiting. It is just the usual junk you can buy anywhere at 3-10 x the normal price.
Asked about a few item:
Small metal ashtray 200k
The hand held fans 100-250 k
Sarong: 250k
Unless you can be bothered haggling pretty hard then it is just a waste of energy.
Overall the place is pretty depressing and disappointing. I can understand everyone needs to make a living and the place has the potential to be something great and instead the place is dead. If stalls just had a set reasonable price or their asking price wasn't so high then heaps of tourists would come, instead they are leaving after just a short visit.
This flea market is located in kuta and is a great place to shop. We came here on the last day of our trip to buy souvenirs. They've got lot of stuff one can buy hand bags, clothes, fridge magnets, hats and what not. The only thing one needs to keep in mind is that bargain as much as you can. They start at a very high price so just reduce the price to 70% and see if they agree and they do sometimes! Anyways it's a must visit
The general expectation seems to be a 1/3 of the price quoted. If you have a fair idea of what you are looking for and an expected price you are willing to pay, you will love the place. Good range of items - clothes, souvenirs, accessories. You may be a tad disappointed if the 300k ask and a 100k retort is met with yes please take it. Maybe I should have replied with a lower price. But anyways that is the whole point of a market where you bargain. As others had commented earlier, it is technically not a flea market in terms of throwaway prices. It is an organized retail with multiple shop fronts displaying their wares.
Nice place in Seminyak to shop for local thing and for people who come for shopping. People do bargain here but the prices here a bit step and costly than the Ubud market. But is worth coming here also as it has few unique stuff
Overall a it's a small fun to have a look around
