Agra is a very poor place, and the people on the streets want to sell everything they can to the tourists- including their granny!
Beware, they are like flies around a honeypot. The "marble" they will try to sell you is not actually marble but a very cheap inferior alternative- if you do but anything make sure you get the cheapest possible price. If you want qualtiy souvenirs buy from a reputable shop.
Unique Suggestions: As soon as you step out of the coach you will be swamped by people trying to sell things- my advice: head down and run the gauntlet!
