Afternoon carts seem to thin out. Do sealed water sellers still walk the First Randoli route after 5, and what is a fair ask versus inflated crush prices. Not inventing an official fee — just traveler experience.

Sellers keep walking well after 5 once the wait builds. Prices often rise as the crowd tightens — buy earlier if you can, or compare two carts before you commit. There is no official fee.

Carry small notes. Arguing over a bottle mid-crush is not worth it; step one street back if a quote feels silly.

Same sellers often switch to snacks later — water first, snacks after the 6:44 PM start if anything is left.
