How it's used
Used primarily in business and commercial contexts to refer to the specific price offered by a vendor before a deal is finalized. It is common to pair this with the verb 攞 to indicate the act of obtaining a quote. Unlike general price terms, it implies a formal or semi-formal offer that is subject to negotiation.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the price tag on an item in a retail store, which is simply 價錢. It specifically refers to a document or verbal offer provided by a service provider or wholesaler.
