Not only the buzzwords but the a-hole sellers that fly off the handle and run you off the property, calling you a "pawn star wannabe" for daring to offer even $1 less than the asking price!
It's called haggling, and it's how the prices of things are determined, even the things you pay a "fixed" price for at Walmart. All those things are made from raw materials called commodities, and commodity prices are determined through haggling.
