| I would say it would be wise for her to also stay away from any shops in known tourist areas. This will be difficult if she is to be in the Papeete area. But any shops frequented by tourists, or near an area where cruise ships dock, are going to be expensive. She shouldn't be fooled by the "wholesale" shops either that have boxes and boxes of loose - they are still grossly overpriced. If bartering is an option, most pieces I have seen there range 4-500% over average wholesale - just to give a jumping off point. |
