JAKARTA TRADITIONAL MARKET

Traditional market is still exist from the smallest group of settelements deep in the village up the big cities or even metropolitan city like Jakarta. the existance of traditional market in Indonesia showing the same pattern and characters throughout the island regardless of the ethnic group it is referred by anthropologist. The pattern of transaction is based on certain day which is called pasaran day or the day of market. Normally every ethnic introduces this type of days which is consist of 3 mudular days for all the year. The name of the day in traditional market is " Pasah, Peteng, Kajeng " at the other places often called " Pasar, Beteng, Kajeng ". The schedule of meeting between the seller and the buyer usually during the day of Pasah or Pasar. Yet in the bigger traditional market which is located in the bigger cities this pattern of meeting schedule is not consistent anymore, it is like modern market, available and supplays all the day and the year. Second pattern very clear at Indonesian traditional market is the freedom of pricing. There is no label for the product. The same vendors located side by side can offer very different selling or bottom cost price. A cute negotiation and offering is a common pattern of transaction. Third pattern is no regulation of product being included in one area of vendors. It might be from 10 vendors, can be 9 vendors selling the same products. There is no emotional relation between repeat customers and with those once shop away. Repeaters may get the same price with the once shoppers. The key is how good one negotiate the price. In some traditional market the use of modern thinking of giving incentive to frequest buyer has been reported exist.
