How it's used
Primarily used in real estate or second hand markets to describe the initial asking price set by a seller. Unlike a formal auction bid, it often implies a starting point for negotiation rather than a final commitment. It focuses on the seller's side of the transaction.
Examples
How much is the owner asking for this unit?
Related words
Common phrases
asking price is too high
reasonable asking price
Common mistake
Avoid using this for an auction bid where a buyer is actively increasing the price, as that is better described by 競投 or 出價.
