You no know how to price?.When you come Kaduna central market you must learn by force .

I used to have the same issue too but with time I learnt. Here are some tips that might be of help to you.
When you are going to buy something you have never bought before, ask people who know about it or have an idea. They should be able to tell you the price. Then you will be able to negotiate without getting cheated.
Also always start from the minimum price. For example that book that the guy said 2000k, I have a friend who would have started negotiations from 500naira...so eventually when they both finally agree on a price, it is more than 500 and less than 2000.
Then when you go to the market for instance to buy foodstuffs and the first trader says it is so and so amount, you could just go round a bit to other traders too to just get an idea of the range of the price (because most times they sell at almost the same price) then you can start negotiating from the minimum amount after comparing prices. Plus don't forget the quality too is important. Don't go and buy meat filled with bones because it is cheaper.
I hope I have been able to help.
