How it's used
Use this term to signal that you have reached your limit and are unwilling to negotiate further. It carries a firm tone that effectively shuts down any back and forth bargaining. It is commonly heard in markets or when selling second hand items online.
Examples
This shirt is a fixed price of fifty dollars, please don't bargain anymore.
Boss, can you sell this model to me at a fixed price?

Common phrases
sell it to you at a fixed price
state a fixed price
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with just any low price. It specifically refers to a non negotiable final offer, so using it when you are still open to discussion will confuse the other person.
