haggle

/ˈhæɡəl/verb

To bargain back and forth with a seller in order to get a lower price.

Example sentence

  • At the market, my mother haggled with the vendor until he dropped the price.

Expected at markets and car lots, awkward at fixed-price stores; knowing where haggling is welcome is cultural knowledge. 'Haggle over' takes the disputed thing.
