Tingimishinnaga

Tingimishinnaga is an Estonian term that translates to "negotiated price" or "bargained price." It refers to a price that is not fixed but is instead determined through discussion and agreement between a buyer and a seller. This concept is common in various commercial transactions, particularly in markets, with used goods, or in situations where the standard price is not explicitly stated.

The process of tingimishinnaga often involves a buyer expressing interest in a product and then proposing a lower price than what the seller initially suggests. The seller may then counter with a slightly higher price, and the negotiation continues until both parties reach a mutually acceptable figure. This practice is deeply ingrained in many cultures and can be seen as a way to foster a more personal and flexible exchange.

While "tingimishinnaga" implies a direct negotiation, it can also encompass situations where prices are subject to discounts or special offers that are not universally advertised, or where bulk purchases lead to a reduced per-unit cost. The key element is the departure from a predetermined, non-negotiable price.
