How it's used

This expression functions as a firm boundary in negotiations, emphasizing that the price is non negotiable. The term 崩 refers to a ten cent coin, historically used as a small unit of currency, making the phrase a vivid way to insist on the exact amount. It is typically used by sellers to shut down further haggling after they have already offered their final price.

Examples

This item is one hundred at its cheapest, I cannot accept even a cent less.
Boss, is it really impossible to lower the price even by a cent?

Common phrases

to stand firm on a price

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a literal request for a specific coin, but it is purely idiomatic. Using it in a formal business setting can sound overly aggressive or confrontational, so it is best reserved for casual market or street stall interactions.
