The first problem is the same when you come shopping in Western Sahara, but the second is very different here. In Laayoune there is a nice shopping area right in front of the Friday Mosque, where the salesmen are completely different from their colleagues in let's say Marrakesh: they don't speak English (sometimes even only Arabic), they offer you a good price immediately and they don't mind if you're just looking without buying anything.
You can still try to bargain a bit over here, but when you're visiting both Marrakesh and Laayoune (like we did) you'll find that the normal price in Laayoune is a very, very good price in Marrakesh already.
Jewelry, pots, glasses, mirrors, lamps, rings, knifes, swords, stools, etc...
