starting price
Base asking amount
Starting price is the initial amount set for something before bidding, negotiation, or other adjustments occur.
In auctions, the starting price is the minimum bid accepted to begin the process.
In retail or real estate, it often signals the lowest configuration or baseline option: Starting price for the new model is $35,000.
The term implies room for the final price to go higher, whether through competitive bidding or added features.
