asking price

Initial sale number

The asking price is the amount a seller initially requests for something offered for sale—a house, a car, a business.

It represents a starting point for negotiation rather than a final figure: The asking price was $450,000, but they accepted $420,000.

In financial markets, the asking price is what sellers will accept for a security, paired with the bid price buyers offer.
