Who needs Craig’s List? Become a Dickerer and make your own bargains ![]()
I’d be very careful who you put that question to in the real world Bret. It could absolutely ruin a hot date before the evening has even begun! ![]()
Hi
Absolutely brilliant Chilli
Never heard of that but sounds a bit norty
Dickering refers to the act of negotiating or bargaining, often in a petty or trivial manner.
It implies a back-and-forth dialogue where terms and conditions are hashed out, usually with some level of haggling.
This term is often used in the context of small transactions or negotiations that do not involve significant sums of money.
Dickering can be seen in markets, auctions, or informal sales situations. ![]()
I might have done it once or twice over something being bought at a car boot sale but mostly, I just pay the asking price.
I am the same. If I can afford the price, I pay it.
No Dickering from me. ![]()
Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
Harmless Nursery rhyme
All very well!
But did Simple Simon resort to dickering for a taste of the pie man’s wares? ![]()
I’ve not run up a clock for years. Run up plenty of bills though.
