hagglecraft
/ˈhæɡəlˌkrɑːft/nounVerified NewThe half-remembered skill of negotiating everyday prices, revived in secondhand markets and call centres after decades of fixed retail.
A generation raised on sticker prices relearns it from marketplace listings and retention scripts. Hagglecraft survives wherever prices are set by a person rather than a system.
Etym. — haggle + craft — negotiation as a craft, with the word's knobbly old roots intact.
Rel. — threatbargain
