Welcome to #MarketFriday!
Copyright infringement is terrible! I actually did not know how that worked over there. You are the first to tell me that. Are all the bookstores like that?
I like that you gave an overall view of how your market works and how it works for people with transportation. Most people use transportation and it makes good sense when you think about how expensive cars are, how much gas/insurance/upkeep is... it is insane, isn't it? There are different modes of transportation for different pockets, I guess many have motorbikes, which, even here are a much better option when talking about affordability.
Have you noticed your prices going up in your market? It is a weekly event on some things. Does your market have bargaining or is it posted prices only? I want to thank you for joining us here! I post the rules in case anyone reading this is wondering how to join!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world. Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

Hello @dswigle, thank you for going through my post, I appreciate your comment as well.
Most books stores here are like this, almost every book store I’ve been to have this copyright infringement books for sale.
Prices fluctuations are very common here, mostly prices of commodities rise due to certain factors such as inflation and scarcity, what I’ve noticed is that prices rise frequently more than it decreases, honestly speaking, it’s rare to see prices of commodities fall.
And yes prices of commodities and services are bargain-able everywhere in the market, except supermarkets and gas stations. One way to thrive well in the Tamale market is to have a good bargaining skill, because most of these market women are very tricky.
