bargaining
Bargaining is a negotiation process between two or more parties where each aims to reach an agreement that suits their interests, needs, or desires, often involving adjustments of certain terms such as price, conditions, or deadlines. This can take place in various contexts, such as business transactions, diplomatic negotiations, legal settlements, or everyday personal interactions.

Bargaining
Bargaining or haggling is a type of negotiation in which the buyer and seller of a good or service dispute the price which will be paid and the exact nature of the transaction that will take place, and eventually come to an agreement. Bargaining is an alternative pricing strategy to fixed prices. Optimally, if it costs the retailer nothing to engage and allow bargaining, he can divine the buyer's willingness to spend. It allows for capturing more consumer surplus as it allows price discrimination, a process whereby a seller can charge a higher price to one buyer who is more eager. Haggling has largely disappeared in parts of the world where the cost to haggle exceeds the gain to retailers for most common retail items. However, for expensive goods sold to uninformed buyers such as automobiles, bargaining can remain commonplace. Dickering refers to the same process, albeit with a slight negative connotation. Bargaining is also the name chosen for the 3rd stage of the Kübler-Ross model, even though it has nothing to do with price negotiations.
