Tell them that a guy down the way is selling the same item for less than he is, but never tell him what that amount is and who the other guy is.
Don't hang around too long, just start to walk away and let him make the move...they usually do.
Art is correct in that learning the language is very important.
Keeping money in seperate pockets like already mentioned is a good idea too.

I did my haggling in Latin countries for quite a few years but I would like to try it in a Middle East country.
