dickering
Bargaining over terms
Dickering is bargaining or haggling, especially in a petty or drawn-out way.
The word suggests back-and-forth negotiation over small amounts or minor terms: After much dickering, they agreed on a price.
It often carries a slightly dismissive tone, implying the negotiation is tedious or beneath serious business.
