Yesterday I went to the Pearl Market in Beijing. It's a lot like the Silk Market, but not as aggressive. I also didn't see any DVDs but that doesn't mean they aren't there. I think it's a better experience than the old Silk Market especially for first time visitors to the city.
One tip aim to pay 30% of the seller's opening price. So if something you want starts at 100 rbm aim for 30 rbm. Whining is okay and pouting too. Walking away usually works like magic. If they do come down to your price, the one you keep repeating ("No 30.") you better buy. Otherwise you're a bad sport.
The higher the floor, the more low key the sales pitch.
Also it's better to go on a weekday. I found that to be true at the Silk Market where I was earlier in the week.
