dicker
Bargain back forth
To dicker is to haggle or negotiate, especially over price or terms of a deal.
The word suggests back-and-forth bargaining rather than a single offer: We dickered over the car for an hour before settling on a price.
Dicker carries a slightly informal, old-fashioned feel—more flea market than boardroom.
