Topic: Haggling
Introduction:
‘Haggling’ is when two parties involved in a transaction (such as the purchase of goods or services) negotiate the price until both parties can mutually agree on a fair price. The process of haggling involves two parties making sequential offers and counteroffers to each other until a price is decided. The buyer is trying to pay the least amount possible, while the seller's primary objective is to maximize the selling price.
