Lots of little stalls, each selling a variety of local goods. Usually one vendor runs several stalls so don't be afraid to walk throughout the entire market or visit other ones before getting down to negotiations.
You can get some decent Mexican leather buys (shoes, purses) as well as local crafts in these markets. They are also good for purchasing bulk size candy which I brought back to work to share.
Haggle, haggle, haggle! You can cut the price by more than 50% by negotiating. Be firm and walk away if the price is too high. Just be sure to have the exchange rate straight in your mind BEFORE entering the market! Merchants will sense the confusion and capitalize on it if you're not careful!

 D-Rich trying out the shades by toddakiyama
*If you're like me and have gone through a million sunglasses during their lifetime, while also losing expensive sunglasses, in Acapulco you can buy cheap sunglasses.
*The sunglasses usually are not all that fancy but they'll do the job
*Some of the street vendors also have knock-offs for sale too
*During my travels, I usually buy a bunch to take back home with me
*Remember to always offer only 50% of the first price they quote you
*And if you're buying more than one, always require that they give you a discount for buying more than one Theme: Other

In Acapulco they are generally of a higher quality. I bought some handmade, hand painted iguanas from the artist who made them.

*Leather goods
*Handmade items
*Pottery items
*Although I've been to many parts of Mexico - over 50 trips, there always seem to be something worth picking up even at these flea markets.
*Many of the times, I know I really don't need it, so I buy them for my friends...
..I can keep it for a while and when I am ready to dump the crap, I then pawn it off to my buddies as a gift.
*
*Always haggle for the best price, whatever they first quote, offer 50% of that amount.
Start walking away in order to move along the negotiations. Theme: Local CraftDirections: * *Flea Markets are located in many areas of Acapulco. You'll either run into a few on your own or you can ask any of the locals.

*There are a number of shops selling fresh fish, shellfish, whatever they catch for the day!
*Prices are reasonable and Fresh! Fresh! Fresh!
*So if you have the chance to rent a condo/apartment with a kitchenette, you'll be able to buy the fresh catches of the day! Theme: Food and Drink
