TL;DR
Based on recent shopper reports in Nha Trang, clothing that starts at 500k VND can often be bargained down to around 300k–400k VND. A common tactic is to counter at about 50% of the first price and negotiate from there.
The newest tip for Nha Trang market shopping is to cut the opening price by about 50% right away. One traveler bought a size M item for 300k VND, but felt it could have gone even lower with more bargaining.
Another recent price point: a similar item was bought for 400k VND, though the buyer felt that was too high. In their view, a proper negotiation in Nha Trang should bring it closer to 350k VND.
There is also a more aggressive bargaining example: the seller started at 500k VND, and the buyers pushed it down to 300k VND before walking away anyway, saying they did not have enough cash. That suggests an opening price of 500k VND can often be negotiated down quite a lot.
